Cracking The Shell...

Steak Fajitas

I went with a Mexican do-it-yourself dinner tonight. There wasn't much to learn this evening. The only things that I did that I had not before was to cut meat on the bias and to flesh out an avocado.

I used a flank steak for the meat. What a crappy cut of meat. Even cutting the meat on a bias, which is supposed to produce a cut of meat that is more tender than any other way to cut it, resulted in bytes that were far more difficult to chew then necessary.

While it sounds like the meal was not that successful, it was actually pretty good. I was just expecting more out of the meat.

I also made a filling comprised of red peppers, onions, chili powder, Tabasco sauce, Serrano peppers, and cumin.

Here is a shot of the ingredients that were presented at the table:
