Title: El bistec adobado en mojo criollo
Post by: Ka Honu on January 21, 2013, 11:31:47 PM: Thought I'd make some steak sandwiches tomorrow. Had a flank steak in the freezer and some (Goya brand) Mojo Criollo in the fridge so…

… thawed and marinated the steak in the Mojo for an hour, dried in the fridge for an hour, and slapped in on the SRG grill for a sear and a short cook. Then foiled, rested, and had a slice before putting it away for sandwiches later - excellent flavor!

So then SWMBO says "How about some tacos or something for dinner?" I decide on "or something" and put some of the flank steak on tostadas, add some queso fresco, and ran it through the oven for a bit. Added some diced red onion and shredded cabbage and topped with homemade (Pachanga-inspired) salsa and tajin (a chile-lime seasoning). Now excellent times two (and sandwiches yet to come).

Life is good! Now if I could only take pictures worth a damn (a little help, please, dee).

Don't worry Turtle... I will sign a blank personal check from my Washington Mutual bank account before we leave. You can make it out for any amount you please.

Post by: Ka Honu on January 22, 2013, 10:16:40 PM: Pappy - Yes, it's the Boos 30" Pro Chef. Got it off Craigslist about 3 years ago for $300 (usually retails for over $1,000).

RAD - Never made SPAM tostadas but don't know why not.

Post by: Smokin Don on January 23, 2013, 05:05:32 PM: I wrote Ka Honu a PM about taking photos and redid the beef photo for him. I could not get it attached to the PM so here it is for him to see. Don

Post by: Ka Honu on January 23, 2013, 05:26:41 PM: Great job, Don. The downside is that now I'll send you all of my photos to fix before I post them.

Gracias, amigo.
