Kerry Simon's Addictive Soft Steak Tacos Fajitas
Much quicker than you would think to prepare and absolutely delicious. If you like fajitas or steak tacos these are for you kerry simon is the chef of the hard rock cafe in las vegas, recipe from an interview in esquire. Not nearly as complicated or time consuming as the list of ingredients looks at first and the salsa, crema and guac can be made a couple of hours ahead. I have used the lime crema for years on chili before i ever tried this recipe for tacos; will publish it separately as well (recipe #239431). once i discovered the crema i never went back to regular sour cream with tex-mex or mexican dishes.
Steps
To make tacos:.
Combine spice-mixture ingredients and toss with steak to coat.
Set aside.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
Warm tortillas on cookie sheet in oven.
Heat two large saut pans to medium-high.
When pans are hot , add oil to each pan followed by 1 / 2 the seasoned meat.
Spread meat out evenly and cook without turning while you lay out warm tortillas on a clean work area to get ready for assembly.
Cook meat for approximately 3 minutes , turn , and cook for another 3 minutes , stirring occasionally to achieve even coloring.
After 3 minutes , turn off heat and allow meat to sit in the pan , becoming just cool enough for you to handle.
To make salsa:.
Rub jalapeo , onion , and tomatoes lightly with oil and roast in large saut pan on medium-high , turning frequently until lightly charred all over.
Set aside to cool.
When cooled , roughly chop and place in a food processor with salt , pulsing until almost smooth but still just a little chunky.
