SUPER BOWL RECIPE:

Prime Steak Tacos with Charred Onion Salsa

Chef Pace says it’s important to use a cut of steak that lends big beef flavor with good marbling, and is also cost-effective:  “Flank, skirt and hanger steaks all have a huge flavor base, which will lend to a good foundation of your taco bar.  These cuts easily take on flavors through marinades and are enchanted when their surfaces are caramelized on a heated grill or on charcoal or wood.  Cost-effective cuts such as brisket or short rib work well for tacos too, once treated with the right cooking application (such as braising).  Ingredients like corn, peaches or apples crafted into salsas or picos add refreshing flavors and crunchy textures.  Acidic items are key to punching up ordinary fillings, such as charred limes, lemons or orange varieties.  Options for the shell are limitless – great corn or flour tortillas, pita, lettuce or kale leaves, all make great vessels to enjoy the kicked up taco ingredients.”

6 OZ                       Prime Hangar Steak, cut in ½-inch pieces

1 TBSP                   Kosher Salt

¼ TBSP                  Black Pepper

1 TBSP                   Oil, Pure Olive

2 Each                   Lime, cut in half

3 TSP                     Charred Onion Salsa (recipe below)

3 Each                   Cilantro Sprigs

3 Each                   Quality Corn Tortilla

1.       Take the steak and place into a mixing bowl and coat with the olive oil, lime juice from one of the lime halves, and season with salt and pepper.

2.       Place a skillet down on the stovetop and preheat to high.

3.       Add the seasoned steak to the skillet and sear the meat to add color to the surface and to lock in the juices.

4.       Toast the corn tortillas on a flat griddle on both sides to soften, and place the tortillas on a platter.

5.       Transfer the seared meat distributing the steak evenly between the three tortillas. Spoon the charred onion salsa on top of the steak of each taco.
