Carne Picada Taco Meat Recipes

Steps:

• Saute onion in oil in a large skillet over medium low heat until translucent. Add jalapeno and cook about 10 minutes more. Remove onion and peppers and set aside.
• Raise heat to medium and quickly brown ground beef. Drain off fat and return onions and peppers. Add tomatoes, garlic, bouillon, salt and pepper to taste.
• Saute over low heat for 15 minutes.
• This can also be prepared using beef broth rather than the bouillon. You would add it at the same time, just cook until desired consistency.

Steps:

• Cover flank steak on one side with the pickled jalapenos, then turn over let sit at room temperature, covered for 1 hour.
• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper and place on a hot grill or under the broiler. Cook the steak for 5 to 6 minutes on each side (for medium rare), and then chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Heat a small saute pan and add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Warm corn tortillas for 30 seconds on each side, adding more oil as necessary. Stack 2 tortillas together, place the meat in the center of the tortillas and top with the onion and cilantro. Drizzle a teaspoon of the salsa de arbol on top of each taco.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, coriander, cumin, pepper, and chili powder.
• Place the steak in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of the marinade and set the rest aside. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the steak in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
• In a small saucepan, bring the reserved ½ cup (120 ml) of marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat a large grill pan over high heat until very hot. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook the steak on 1 side until there are dark grill marks and it is beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes for medium rare, or 7 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas in a pan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until softened and just beginning to brown in spots, about 1 minute per side. Wrap the toasted tortillas in foil to keep warm.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then cut the slices in half. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the reduced marinade to coat.
• Serve the steak with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat tortillas directly on a gas grill or in the microwave. Place 2 tablespoons carne picada on each tortilla. Top with onions, cilantro, and salsa. Serve with lime wedge.

Steps:

• Combine flour, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl, mix to combine. Toss meat in flour mixture until well coated.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear meat until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your skillet, you might need to sear the meat in batches. Remove from skillet. Add onion, scraping off all the browned bits, and sautè until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add meat, onions, and diced tomatoes, undrained, into a slow cooker; mix to combine. Cook on Low until meat is tender and flavors have combined, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the bacon and onion and cook, stirring often, until bacon begins to brown. With a spatula, slide the onion and bacon to the back side of the skillet.
• At this point the skillet should be very hot. Add the meat and generously season with salt and pepper.Brown on one side and turn over, add the lime juice.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook until the meat is tender and serve with accompaniments.
