Charcoal-Grilled Steak Tacos
RECIPE 👉 www.rickbayless.com/recipe/ch...
****
There is no way I could amass a collection of the most essential Mexican recipes without including grilled skirt steak tacos. They are simply my favorite-beefy, juicy slices of smoky meat on a warm tortilla, a little seasoned mashed avocado, a splash of salsa, a squeeze of lime, maybe some grilled knob onions on the side to provide the counterpoint of texture and flavor.
The first thing to know about skirt steak is that there are two kinds, inner skirt and outer skirt. While inner might sound more protected, more tender, it’s the reverse: the inner skirt steak is thicker, tougher and in most places less expensive. The butchers at the Mexican grocery near my house butterfly inner skirt steak and then run it through a tenderizing machine before they sell it. Outer skirt steak, on the other hand, is thinner, more tender and even beefier-no need for butterflying or tenderizing.
Most Mexican cooks make simple marinades for the meat they grill and chop for tacos. Often, it’s just salt. Some add fresh lime plus a little garlic, perhaps along with the beloved northern Mexican triumvirate of black pepper, oregano and cumin. And still others play the umami card, enhancing the meat with salsa inglesa (Worcestershire), soy or a little Knorr Suiza powdered bouillon. For this recipe, I’ve decided to go all the way.
Because this dish is most famous from northern Mexico (but beloved everywhere), it welcomes flour as well as corn tortillas.

Man I would love a setup like that. Anytime I cook a steak 🥩 I have to have guacamole with it. I like it spicy. Since I live in an apartment we aren’t allowed to have a pit or grill so I use a cast iron skillet. I sear my fajita meat first. Let it rest then cut it like he said. Cut up a red, green and yellow bell peppers and 1 poblano pepper. Mix them up in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, Mexican cumin. Sauté the veggies first just to get them soft then add the meat mix them altogether so that the meat gets the the flavor from the veggies take them out let them cool just for a little bit and It’s ready to serve on a nice flour or corn tortilla.

If "envy" is always confused for "jealousy", does that mean that "envy" has no meaning anymore, or is "jealousy" the one without meaning - for it isn't even a contextual word, its just fallen to the graces of language evolution. It isn't possible for a word to have two opposite meanings, right? You can't be jealous of your neighbor's grill and then be jealous when he envies your grill, right?

I think what I really like about these videos is the amount of respect he has for Mexican food and how he uses his knowledge to make great recipes, he might throw in his spin to it but he always keeps that respect to the food there and and that’s what I appreciate of his cooking🙏

I feel the same. They're from different disciplines, but, I get echoes of Bob Ross when I watch Rick cook. Very similar relaxing vibe, laid-back style, teaching in the most friendly manner.
In my opinion he is the only..and I remark, the only chef (that I know for know)that respects so close the authentic Mexican cuisine, nothing like so called chefs, won't say names, or trash places like tacobell, taco cabana, taco bueno, or many places that say "Mexican food" Mexican-American= junk food. Northamericans trying to make Mexican food= trash food. Anyway he believes on preserve tradition with respect, not only now but he is doing his homework for years. Something drops to the kitchen floor sometimes but always with respect to the traditions.

Very nice preparation, straight forward and traditional. 100% agree, skirt/flank/hangar all benefit from being cooked medium, it breaks down the connective tissues and combined with proper cutting against the grain, all but eliminates the stringiness. Quick Tip: Press the steak onto the grill for a few seconds after you place it down. That added contact will help increase the browning.
I've been watching 20 years or more? Getting old lol, just want to say made tonight, and friends stayed to play poker, we started up again before midnight and was faster and better marinading longer 2nd time, these are amazing, will do again, one friend wants to take the sirloin cap(I guess would call it?) , flank, and little skirt steak get Off venison and make next time. I'm sure would be great, tyvm.
Speaking to my soul.
i used to watch you growing up ...can't believe there's a youtube channel :D viva mexico
I smoke it with mesquite wood at 225 for a hour or so and it's lights out! This way you can marinade for longer and it won't matter if the meat is brown or red. The smoke really adds another dimension to Rick's recipe.

Rick, that to me is a man’s outdoor kitchen. Dang I would love a setup just like that and I mean just like that. I love watching “Mexico 1 plate at a time “ and with your daughter helping you out. Father and daughter show’s are nice. Keep up the great show. I consider these a cooking class. See you on your next vlog.

Amazing difference in personality between Rick and Skip…

Check out Rick's chipotle marinated skirt steak too. I grilled some last weekend and it was phenomenal.
Outstanding Rick! Can’t wait to try this!
Arrachera tacos are a staple here in San Miguel de Allende. Food of the gods. Amazingly, unlike in the U.S., where it is sadly under-appreciated and often hard to find, skirt steak (arrachera) is the most common and popular cut here.
