Take that skirt and cover with cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper and jalapeņos and roll it tight. Put in a Ziploc with some citrus juice, usually lime or a mix with orange. Give it an hour you don't want the citrus to cook it. Grill or broil and chop for the best street taco meat ever.

Sometimes I buy small roasts that are ~3" thick and cook them like steaks. They're bloody as hell and good.

I've often contemplated doing that, you'd be able to get a hell of a Pittsburgh-style char in a rare steak if it was 3" thick.

The taste is also good, you say?

Lengua, while delicious, is not entry-level food. Entry-level ethnic food is like, chicken tikka masala or pad thai.

You shouldn't Pat yourself on the back for being The Worlds Most Adventurous Eater but it's disingenuous to act like it's a regular food for most 1st world countries.

I order 2" cuts of strip steak and the like to do a crazy char crust; once you get to the 2"+ thick cuts I add the pepper afterwards because the char becomes so thick it just burns the pepper off. You basically just want some salt and some high-temperature oil. Season it while it's resting.

It's pretty hit and miss: lots of roasts have large veins of fat running through them. Even if you're very picky and do what I do, practically climbing into the shelves in the meat section examining and discarding cuts, sometimes you'll have one with a large amount of fat in it, which makes for a very chewy and unpleasant "steak"

Speaking of steaks, I cooked a t-bone on some hot wood coals this week at camp. I don't mean I put a grate over the fire either; I pushed aside some logs to expose some white-hot coals and put the steak directly on them for like 2.5 minutes a side. That fucker came out perfectly medium rare and crispy as gently caress on each side. We're talking steakhouse-quality cooked, with the awesome addition of fire pit smoke (make sure you're only burning cured firewood and not some pressure treated lumber poo poo though).

Next time you guys are going camping and know you're going to have a campfire going, try it. And don't explain to other people what you're doing either - just let the steak sit out and come up to room temp while seasoning it with some salt, pepper and olive oil (or melted butter if you want to gently caress some arteries up. Which you do) and then watch people's reaction as you casually plop that fucker in the fire on some coals.

Then watch their reactions after you've let it rest for a few minutes and they taste one of the best steaks they'll ever have.

that's how president eisenhower used to cook 'em

Where are you from? Because churrascos are okay if we're talking day-to-day, just cooking on an iron, but bife de chorizo is much better, and lomo a la pimienta is amazing and you can easily cook it at home.



Is Lomo a la pimienta any different than steak au poivre?

it's expensive but buy a cut of grass fed beef. the fat tastes completely different and melts in your mouth instead of being a chewy mess, it's amazing and imo worth the extra cash

This is a skirt steak. Very thin but very lean. If you sear very quickly and serve it blue it melts on the tongue. Please learn to cut whatever that is you posted properly OP.
