Awsome Fajitas.
Ingredients
2 pound Flank Steak
1 small can Chipotle Peppers
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
2 small spanish(or vidalia) onions
1 package corn tortillas
1 large red chilli pepper
1 large green chilli pepper
3-4 cloves garlic
softened butter
extra virgin olive oil.
white wine
salt pepper
Think ahead, and marinate that steak for a good 6 hours. Take out one or two of the canned chipotle's, a cup ofwhitewine, 1/4 cup of the olive oil, and the garlic smashed into a bowl with the steak, and cover and put in the fridge.
Make sure the grills hot and have your butter nearby. Cut the bell peppers into strips, and the onion into slices and coat with olive oil. salt and pepper, and a couple of the canned chipotles chopped finely. make a bowl out of aluminum foil, and put the aforementioned ingredients into it and throw it on the grill. coat the chillis in a little oil and throw them directly on the grill until they're marked up, remove from the grill and take out the seeds, slice the flesh on a bias into strips. add to the onions and peppers, making sure to stir them aroudn a bit so they dont burn. Take out the steak, pat dry on a paper towl, and coat the steak with kosher salt. throw it on the hottest part of thhe grill. after about a minute and a half, flip it, and with a brush (hold the brush with tongs), brush on the butter to the seared side of the steak, after a minute and half flip the steak with a quarter turn to get cross marks, and butter the other side. after a minute flip it to get the other side cross marked.
when the steaks done, and the onions and peppers are soft, make room on the grill for the tortillas which take like 30 seconds on each side to get hot. slice the steak AGAINST the grain, and put it on a platter, have the tortillas on a plate, and the onins/peppers in a bowl. Break out your favorite mexican seasonngs, hot sauce, sour cream. serve with beans and rice.
I'm a huge fan of corn tortillas, but if you like flour ones, just remember they take much less time to heat up on a grill.
sorry for the laziness of this post, i'm lazy today.
