MEXICAN-STYLE PEPPER STEAK
Shaved steak is not a staple of Mexican cuisine. Most cooks prefer the slightly thicker beef milanesa cut, similar to minute steak. But Memo Pinedo, the proprietor of a restaurant and a food truck in Houston, both called Jarro Cafe, appreciates Angus beef sliced from sirloin for his tacos de bistec. It's so thin he can cook it in steam coming off a skillet of sizzling onions, tomatoes and jalapeños.

Steps:
- In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and add half of the onion, tomatoes, bell pepper and chilies, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add half of the broth and bay leaves to each skillet and bring to a simmer. Lay beef slices over top, season with salt and pepper and cook, turning beef once, until it loses its pink color, about 3 minutes total. Transfer meat to a platter or plates. Simmer pan juices until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon vegetables and juices over the beef and sprinkle with cilantro.

AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)
On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

Steps:
- Combine orange juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and cayenne in a large freezer bag. Submerge skirt steaks in the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate, 1 to 8 hours.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the steaks until hot and firm in the center or to your preferred doneness, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to a flat work surface and slice as thinly as possible against the grain.
- Heat corn tortillas on the grill or in a microwave. Keep tortillas warm in a folded sheet of aluminum foil covered by a thick towel.
- Add steak to each tortilla and top with white onion and cilantro.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality steak: For the best flavor and texture, use a well-marbled flank steak or skirt steak.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, pepper, garlic, and cilantro helps tenderize and flavor the meat.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help create a flavorful crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Slice the steak against the grain: This will make the steak more tender and easier to chew.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas make a big difference in the overall taste of the tacos.
- Load up the tacos with toppings: Guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, and shredded cheese are all classic taco toppings.
Conclusion:
Mexican-style cumin-pepper steak tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of flavorful steak, tangy marinade, and fresh toppings makes these tacos a surefire hit.
