CHICANA...MEXICAN I THINK?



Chicana...mexican I Think? image

This recipe was given to me by my friend Sherri. I have sometimes roasted the veggies before adding them to the pot, and I usually add the 6 cloves of garlic, but that is optional if you don't like garlic as much as I do. If I can find good fresh tomatoes, I use those instead of the canned ones. I also take the seeds out of the jalapenos, as my kids can't handle the heat but love to eat it. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family does.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are commonly used for Steak Chicana. These cuts are flavorful and have a good amount of marbling, which helps to keep them moist during cooking.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Common ingredients used in Steak Chicana marinades include citrus juices, vinegar, garlic, onions, and spices.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Steak Chicana is typically cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and lock in the juices. This results in a flavorful and juicy steak with a slightly charred exterior.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Steak Chicana is best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make it tough and dry. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the beef reaches the desired internal temperature.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Steak Chicana is often served with a variety of toppings, such as grilled onions, peppers, tomatoes, avocado, and cheese. You can also serve it with a flavorful sauce, such as salsa, chimichurri, or mojo.
