TEQUILA-LIME FLANK STEAK WITH PICKLED RED ONIONS



Tequila-Lime Flank Steak with Pickled Red Onions image

Number Of Ingredients 10

Pickled Red Onions
2 beef flank steaks (each about 1 1/2 pounds)
3 cloves garlic (medium), minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup tequila
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon bottled Maggi seasoning extract or Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil plus extra for the grill
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the onions. Then, trim the steaks of excess fat and silver skin. Score the steaks by making cuts about 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart, diagonally across the meat in two directions to make a diamond pattern on both sides. Rub the meat all over with garlic and pepper. Place the steaks in a large shallow glass baking dish. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, honey, Maggi, and oil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the marinade on each steak, and turn the steaks to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate the meat about 2 hours or up to 8 hours. 3. Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking. Have ready a hot outdoor grill or heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, and season with salt just before grilling. Brush lightly with oil. 4. Grill the steaks on a hot greased grill over high heat or in the grill pan on medium-high heat, turning to brown the meat on both sides, 8 to 12 minutes total for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the meat. (Adjust cook time for desired doneness.) Brush the steaks with the reserved marinade the last 3 minutes of cooking. 5. Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices. Serve with pickled red onions scattered over the meat.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

Tips:

  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them pickle evenly.
  • Choose fresh, firm red onions for pickling. Avoid onions that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • To make the pickling liquid, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring over the onions.
  • Use a clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to keep the onions submerged in the pickling liquid and prevent spoilage.
  • Store the pickled onions in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before eating. This will give them time to develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Lime pickled red onions are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are perfect for topping tacos, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. You can also use them as a garnish for cocktails or as a side dish. With their bright color and tangy flavor, lime pickled red onions are sure to add a pop of flavor to any meal.
