3 Tasty Tapas Sherry Garlic Beef Sherry Garlic Mushrooms Grilled Chorizo Food

MARINATED BEEF GRILLED WITH CHORIZO AND JALAPEñOS SERVED WITH GRILLED QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the onion and garlic and toss with your hands to combine. Add the beef and toss to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
• Prepare a gas grill for two-zone heat: Set one burner at medium-high and one or two burners at high. (Alternatively, prepare a charcoal grill for high heat.)
• Remove the steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess and brushing off and reserving any onions that are stuck to the meat. Drain the onions in a fine-mesh sieve set over the sink - discard the marinade and save the onions.
• Grill the beef over high heat, turning once, for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• If the onions have fallen apart, they will be easier to sauté rather than grill, unless you have a vegetable grill basket-and if you do, I recommend using it (even if the onions didn't fall apart, a grill basket will help prevent them from slipping through the grill grates). Grill or sauté the onions until they are charred on all sides, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Grill the chorizo, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and cooked through, for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Grill the whole jalapeños and scallions over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, for 4 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt.
• To make the quesadillas, toast one side of the tortillas over the medium-high side of the grill until lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip and place a small mound of cheese on the charred side, then fold in half like a taco and continue to grill until the cheese begins to melt and the tortilla is lightly charred, for about 1 minute. Flip again to char the other side.
• Serve the quesadillas along with grilled tortillas and you can make tacos or stuff the quesadillas with carne asada, chorizo, chiles jalapeños, scallions, guacamole, salsa tatemada and cilantro. Serve with the refried beans and lime wedges for squeezing.

GARLIC MUSHROOMS TAPAS-STYLE

Steps:

• In a heavy skillet, heat olive oil on medium-low and add garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is soft but not brown. Add mushrooms and season with salt and pepper and then raise the heat to medium-high, stirring to incorporate the garlic and seasonings. Cook, tossing occasionally, until mushrooms render their liquid and begin to brown, about six minutes.
• Raise the heat to high, add the sherry and cook, stirring, to continue browning the mushrooms and evaporate the wine. Remove from heat, adjust seasoning and serve immediately.

TAPA OF MUSHROOMS IN GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and chili or red pepper flakes. After about 30 seconds, when the garlic begins to sizzle, add the mushrooms and turn the heat to medium high. Cook, stirring, until they sear and begin to sweat, then sprinkle them with salt and add the white wine or sherry. Turn the heat down to medium, and continue to cook, stirring or tossing in the pan from time to time, until the mushrooms are tender, five to 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, taste and adjust seasonings, and remove from the heat. Serve hot or warm in small ceramic dishes, or serve on a platter with toothpicks stuck into the mushrooms.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH SHERRY AND GARLIC

Steps:

• If mushrooms are greater than one inch in diameter, cut into quarters.
• Heat 12 inch skillet over medium heat.
• Add 1 T olive oil. When the oil is hot enough to sizzle a piece of mushroom, add half the mushrooms and half the thyme. Raise the heat to medium-high and saute, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown. If you stir them too often or crowd them in the pan, you'll prevent the mushrooms from carmelizing.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl, and repeat with the remaining mushrooms. Add the garlic, and saute 1 minute, stirring. Return the reserved mushroom, with any accumulated juices, to the pan.
• Add the sherry and parsley, and boil until the liquid is reduced to a glaze, another minute or so.
• Add the butter, and gently swirl the pan as the butter melts and emulsifies with the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
• Enjoy!
