STEAK RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except oil and beef in blender or food processor until very smooth. It will be a thin sauce.
• Heat oil in skillet until very hot. "Fry" the sauce stirring constantly. Beware of splatters. Cook down about 10 minutes.
• Place steaks in pan with sauce and cover with sauce. Place lid on skillet. Simmer on medium covered about 15-25 minutes until cooked through. Periodically can spoon more sauce over meat.
• Serve over rice. I particularly like Goya's Spanish Rice.

STEAK RANCHERO

Steps:

• Grind the garlic and peppercorns in your molcajete until you have a fine paste. Add the 2 tablespoons of water and stir. Rub this paste all over the steaks and season with salt.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet (make sure the skillet is big enough for the two steaks). Once it is hot, add the steaks and cook for about 3 minutes per side.
• Add the onion and peppers to the skillet and cook for 3 more minutes, until the sliced onion starts looking transparent. Stir to make sure everything is cooking evenly.
• Now, place all the tomato slices on top of the meat, as shown in the picture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5 minutes. After this time, the tomatoes will start releasing their juices. Pour in the beer, season with salt, and keep cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring from time to time. Serve with fried beans, rice, and warm corn tortillas.

• In a large saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, covered, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the guajillo and pasilla chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, salt and garlic. Stir and cook until the spices become fragrant and are fully coated in oil, 3 to 5 minutes.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Place the refried beans in a small pot or skillet and heat over medium heat until hot.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and pepper and cook until the yolks are done to your liking, 2 to 3 minutes for sunny-side up eggs with still-runny yolks.
• To serve, set up 4 plates. Spoon refried beans onto the bottom of each plate and top with a broken taco shell to form a circle. Top each with a cooked egg and avocado, then season with salt. Add some pico de gallo and cilantro. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired.

SHEET PAN HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Add the tortilla wedges, drizzle with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon cumin, the chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss until well coated. Spread on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ancho chile and 1/4 cup hot water in a blender. Let stand until the chile is softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, scallion, half the jalapeño slices, the cilantro, remaining 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; puree until smooth. Lightly mash the chili beans in their sauce in a medium bowl until chunky.
• Remove the tortillas from the oven. Drizzle with about 1/2 cup of the ancho sauce and top evenly with the mashed beans. Crack the eggs on top, spacing them out; season with salt and pepper. Gently run a rubber spatula through any thick egg whites to break them up and help the eggs cook more evenly. Bake until the egg whites are opaque, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Drizzle with 1 cup more ancho sauce. Top with the avocado, cheese, remaining jalapeño slices and more cilantro; serve with lime wedges and the remaining ancho sauce.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS

Steps:

• For the ranchero sauce: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and put the tomatoes, garlic cloves and onion on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the vegetables, turning occasionally, until blistered and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the papery skins from the garlic.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the ancho chiles, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
• Put the vegetables and any juices from the baking sheet into a blender. Add the ancho chiles, 1/2 teaspoon each chopped chipotle and adobo sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and blend until fairly smooth. Taste; if you want the sauce spicier, stir in the remaining chopped chipotle and adobo sauce.
• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sauce (it will sizzle) and 1/3 cup water and cook, stirring, until thickened but pourable, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Cover and keep warm over low heat. If the sauce thickens too much, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out.
• For the refried beans: Put the beans in a medium bowl with about half of their reserved liquid and mash with a potato masher until smooth. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the mashed beans and a big pinch of salt and mash again until smooth. Cook, stirring and scraping with a rubber spatula, until heated through. If the beans seem dry, add some more of the reserved liquid until they are creamy. Taste, season with salt if necessary and cover and keep warm over low heat.
• For serving: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add 1 tortilla and cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Flip the tortilla with tongs and continue to cook until the underside blisters, about 15 seconds. Remove from the pan to the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining 7 tortillas, adding more oil if necessary. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the refried beans on each tortilla and keep warm in the oven.
• Using the same skillet the tortillas were fried in, heat 1 tablespoon oil until shimmering, about 1 minute. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges are crispy and whites are almost set. Cover the skillet with a big pot lid and cook until the whites are completely set, 1 more minute. Remove the tortillas from the oven, top four with an egg, then return to the oven and repeat with the 4 remaining eggs.
• Top the remaining tortillas with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each with a pinch of salt, some ranchero sauce, Cotija cheese, cilantro and onion. Serve immediately.
