Servings: 4

 

Ingredients:

1 pound flat iron steak (flank or skirt also work), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick strips

1 garlic clove, halved

2 limes

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 onion, sliced

2 plum tomatoes, cored, seeded, and sliced into strips

2 poblano chiles

Salt and black pepper

Equipment:

frying pan

stove

ziploc bags

bowl

tongs

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 First, roast the poblanos. If using a gas stove, turn a burner to high and place both chiles on the grate above and cook, flipping occasionally, until charred and black on all sides. If using an electric stove, place a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the chiles and cook, flipping occasionally, until charred on all sides. When done, transfer the chiles to a plastic bag to steam for five minutes. Then peel away the blackened skin, remove the stems and seeds, and slice the flesh into 1/2-inch-wide strips. 2 In a medium-sized bowl, combine the the beef, the juice of one lime, and a pinch of a salt and pepper. Toss well and set aside. 3 In a large cast-iron skillet, pour in two tablespoons of the oil and add the garlic. Turn the heat to medium. The goal here is to infuse the oil with the garlic. Turn the garlic occasionally with a pair of tongs, and remove once it starts to sizzle. Then add the onions and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions become limp and transparent, eight to ten minutes. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and set aside. 4 If needed, carefully clean out the skillet. Pour the remaining two tablespoons of oil in and turn heat to high. When just starting to smoke, add as many of the beef strips as will fit comfortably in one layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is caramelized and cooked through, seven to eight minutes. If cooking in batches, remove the first batch of beef and transfer to the bowl with the onions. Add more oil if needed to cook the second batch. 5 Once the beef is cooked, return the first batch of beef to the skillet along with the onions, tomatoes, and poblano strips. Cook, stirring carefully so you don't break up the tomatoes, until everything is warm, about two minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 6 Serve with warm corn tortillas, and the remaining lime cut into wedges.

Food Trivia

Death row inmates in Texas don't get to pick their last meal.

Food Joke

Jack goes to the doctor and says "Doc I'm having trouble getting my penis erect, can you help me?" After a complete examination the doctor tells Jack, "Well the problem is that the muscles around the base of your penis are damaged. There's really nothing I can do for you unless you're willing to try an experimental treatment." Jack asks sadly, "And that would be?" "Well," the Doctor explains, "What we would do is take the muscles from the trunk of a baby elephant and implant them in your penis." Jack thinks about it silently then says, "Well the thought of going through life without ever having sex again is too much, let's go for it." Jack went under the knife, and, after a period of recovery and healing, returned to the Doc for his blessing. Following the examination, the Doc pronounced Jack "healed and ready for action". Eager to use his experimentally enhanced equipment, Jack planned a romantic evening for his girlfriend and took her to one of the nicest restaurants in town, anticipating a happy conclusion to the evening. In the middle of dinner he felt a stirring between his legs that continued to the point of being painful. To release the pressure, Jack placed his napkin on his lap and unzipped his fly. His penis immediately sprung from his pants, flipped the napkin on the floor, went to the top of the table, grabbed a bread roll and then returned to his pants! His girlfriend was stunned at first but then, imagining the possibilities, said with a sly smile and a gleam in her eye, "That was incredible! Can you do it again?" Jack groaned, "Probably, but I don't think I can fit another roll in my ass."
