TEX-MEX BEEF BOWL WITH AVOCADO CILANTRO DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just barely smoking.
• Combine garlic powder, chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, and cumin in a bowl; rub over all sides of flank steak.
• Grill flank steak in the preheated grill pan, flipping halfway through, until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes. Let steak rest on a work surface for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain.
• Divide rice, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, tortilla chips, black beans, jalapeno peppers, and lime wedges between 2 serving bowls; top with steak, cotija cheese, and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
• Combine avocados, water, 1/2 cup cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and salt in a blender; blend until dressing is smooth. Pour dressing over each bowl.

TEX-MEX CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Combine the potatoes, milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon; reserve the milk.
• Meanwhile, heat 3/4 inch vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375˚ F. Whisk 1 1/2 cups flour with 1 tablespoon chili powder in a shallow bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg, remaining 1 tablespoon chili powder and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Coat the steaks in the flour, dip in the buttermilk, then coat in the flour again.
• Working in batches, fry the steaks, turning once, until crisp and golden, 5 minutes; transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet. Season with salt and keep warm in the oven. Reserve the cooking oil.
• Put the peas and carrots in a microwave-safe bowl and add 2 tablespoons water; cover and microwave until hot, 4 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoons of the reserved cooking oil and the remaining 1/4 cup flour in a bowl with a fork. Return the milk to a boil, whisk in the flour mixture and cook, whisking, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to low and add the potatoes; warm through, 1 minute. Serve the steak with the potatoes and peas and carrots. Top with more gravy and chopped chives.

GRAIN BOWLS WITH GRILLED CORN, STEAK, AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Season steak with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high. Grill steak, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of steak registers 120-125°F for medium-rare (2-3 minutes per side for skirt; 3-4 minutes per side for flank). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes or until cool.
• Meanwhile, grill corn until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and let cool.
• Slice corn off cobs into a large bowl. Add grains, feta, scallions, oil, lime juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to combine. Divide corn mixture among bowls.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5"-6" segments, then slice against the grain). Top bowls with steak and avocado. Drizzle jalapeño sauce over; season with salt and pepper.
• Do Ahead: Steak and corn can be grilled 3 days ahead. Transfer to separate airtight containers and chill.

TEX-MEX STEAK FAJITAS WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• For the Tex-Mex chili rub: Mix together the paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile powder, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Toss the skirt steak in a container with the olive oil and lime juice, then rub with the spice mixture. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours before cooking.
• For the peppers and onions: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot. Toss the peppers and onions in a bowl with the olive oil, lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the pepper-onion mixture to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the edges are charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil.
• Grill the skirt steak until marked, 4 to 5 minutes per side for the thicker pieces for medium rare, or 2 to 3 minutes per side for the thinner pieces for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
• Serve with the warm tortillas and toppings.
