Steak Yucatán Style With Green Seasoning Paste Recipes

BEEF FILLET STRIPS WITH TOMATOES, PEPPERS, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chiles. Then, cut out the stem and cut open the chiles to remove the seeds and ribs. Cut the chiles into strips, then into 3/4-inch pieces. Reserve. Trim the meat of fat, and cut the meat into thin slices, then into 1-inch pieces. Put the meat into a bowl, and toss with half of the oil, the Maggi, and garlic. Let stand about 20 minutes. 2. In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil until hot. Add half of the beef, in a single layer, and stir-fry until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. (Don't overcook, or the beef will be tough.) Remove the meat to a bowl, and brown the remaining meat. Add to the first batch of meat and set aside. 3. In the same skillet, cook the onion over medium-low heat until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chiles, thyme, and 2 tablespoons of water. Raise heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften 4 to 5 minutes. Add the meat and the juices from the bowl. Season with salt and pepper. When the meat is heated through, stir in the cilantro and serve.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.

STEAK, YUCATáN STYLE, WITH GREEN SEASONING PASTE

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, mix the seasoning paste, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Trim the fat from the steaks and spread both sides with a thin coat of the seasoning paste. Put the steaks on a plate and let season about 1 hour. 2. Meanwhile, prepare an outdoor grill and brush the grill with oil. When the coals are hot, brush a bit more oil on the steaks to prevent sticking, and place the steaks on the grill. Cook about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned on the outside and still pink and juicy inside for medium rare or adjust time for desired doneness. Serve at once.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
