FIESTA STEAK



Fiesta Steak image

If your steak is very thick, you may need to add up to eight minutes more in the oven. Let your nose be your guide. This recipe is chock full of vegetables-a great way to get your meat lover to eat vegetables, too! Try this recipe with chicken pieces instead of steak for a change. My aunt swears by kosher salt and freshly squeezed lemon or lime when cooking meat, but I prefer to use sea salt whenever I'm cooking.

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil spray
1 cup white rice
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon broth (beef or vegetable) or water
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 to 3 limes)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 to 3/4 pound boneless steak
Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced into strips
1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced into strips
1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced into strips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.
  • Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add the liquid, and stir to make an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, cilantro, oregano, and cumin.
  • Add the steak to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and spoon half of the lime juice mixture over the meat.
  • Sprinkle the garlic over the steak and top with the onion. Then scatter on the bell pepper strips, and spoon the rest of the lime juice mixture over all.
  • Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Mexican Beef Stir-Fry image

This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

FIESTA STEAK CHILI



Fiesta Steak Chili image

This is a basic recipe for non-traditional chili using steak. My wife is allergic to chili powder, so I don't use any in this recipe, but you are welcome to add some if you like. This is a very tame, full-flavor, colorful chili recipe that even the kids will like. There are plenty of other variations that you can use with this basic recipe, please change at will. Things we have tried include adding three or four fresh jalapenos, or adding Tabasco® habanaro sauce, or cilantro, or fresh tomatoes, or using red, yellow, orange, and green peppers, or hamburger instead of a steak or roast. Serve with tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all great options for stir-fries because they are thin and cook quickly.
  • Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to add flavor and moisture to the meat.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, so as not to toughen it.
  • Add vegetables last: Vegetables cook quickly, so add them to the stir-fry last to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce will help to bring all the flavors of the stir-fry together.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served immediately, while the meat is still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Mexican Fiesta Steak Stir-Fry is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of spices, then cooked over high heat until tender. The vegetables are added last and cooked until crisp-tender. The whole dish is then tossed in a flavorful sauce and served over rice. This stir-fry is a great way to get a healthy and delicious meal on the table in no time.
