Napa Daves Skirt Steak Tacos Food

SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and on the top rack of the grill while the steak is grilling.
• Heat grill pan over high heat. Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes then slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Fill each tortilla with some lettuce, 3 to 4 pieces of meat, onion, grilled tomato salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
• Heat grill to high.
• Heat oil in a small saute pan and saute the chiles, onion, and garlic until soft.
• Brush tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides until slightly charred and soft.
• Transfer tomatoes and serrano mixture to a food processor; add the lime juice and salt and pepper and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times (there should be flecks of cilantro in the salsa.) Transfer to a bowl.

ARRACHERA (SKIRT STEAK TACOS)

Steps:

• Pound the skirt steak until it's flat or instead, ask the butcher to run it through the machine that flattens it out. Doing this works best.
• Season meat with Adobo, Cumin, and Pico de Gallo. I use the Adobo that has Cumin already in it and it works great.
• Rub seasoning into the meat.
• Layer meat, onions, and garlic in a deep pan or bowl and cover with beer by placing portion of meat on the bottom, top with onions (sliced so that it forms rings), chopped garlic, then repeat until all meat is used. Fill with beer of choice until everything is covered.
• Let sit for several hours or overnight.
• Cook meat on grill.
• Serve with heated corn tortillas and what ever taco toppings you prefer.

DAVE'S TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oil on medium-hi. (Choose the pan for frying the shells carefully. It should be just a little bigger than the taco shells in diameter, and have straight sides so the minimum amount of oil can be used. It's easier to handle the shells if the pan is fairly shallow - no more than 3 inches deep.).
• In a separate pan, brown onion with meat and drain grease. Add tomato paste and spices.
• Continue to simmer meat while frying shells. Fry each tortilla quickly, less than a minute each, folding in the middle while frying. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil if needed. Shells should still be fairly soft.
• Fill taco shells with meat and serve. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and taco sauce should be served with the tacos so that everyone can fix their own.

SKIRT STEAK SALTIMBOCCA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the steak into 3 1/2 to 4-ounce pieces. Pound each steak out evenly to about 25 percent of its original thickness. Season them with pepper. On top of each steak place a slice of provolone, some sage leaves, and 2 slices prosciutto. Roll them up into a pinwheel (log) and secure with toothpicks.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the pinwheels until they are brown on both sides. Place them in the oven and roast until they are medium rare, about 7-9 minutes. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before carving them into bite-sized wheels.
• Put the skillet back on medium-high heat. Add the remaining sage leaves and cook until they are crispy. Drain them on paper towels; use them to garnish steak.

NAPA DAVE'S SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the onion, the garlic, lime juice, cumin & salt in a blender until pureed.
• Cut the skirt steak into approximately 3 inch sections. Place the skirt steak pieces into a medium sized glass baking dish. Pour this mixture over the skirt steak- turn the meat in the mix to be sure that it is coated well on both sides.
• Cover the meat and refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Heat the grill to medium high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and using a clean kitchen towel, blot the excess onion mixture off the meat. Brush oil over both sides of the steak & then lay it over the hottest part of the grill.
• Grill until browned - about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side.
• Cut each piece of the steak into thin strips across the grain.
• Sprinkle the meat with lime juice.
• Serve with a plate of tortillas and let each diner fill as they choose!
