Rio Grande Rub Steaks Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium tupperware container or re-sealable bag, whisk together your honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger and garlic.
• Add in your steak, and mix until coated.
• Marinade for at least 30 minutes (sometimes I'll even let it sit overnight for great flavor).
• Grill over medium heat until steak pieces reach desired doneness.

Steps:

• Combine dry mix with egg, 2 tablespoons oil and milk to make batter then stir in the chile peppers, corn and Cheddar. Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet and cook 6 small cakes, 3 inches each, at a time for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side and 1 to 2 minutes on the second side, until evenly deep golden in color. Transfer to a towel lined plate and salt the fritter cakes. Repeat, adding and heating a little additional oil for the second batch.

Steps:

• Let steaks rest from refrigerator for a few minutes to take the chill off.
• Preheat grill pan or indoor electric grill to high heat. Combine spice rub ingredients: ground Ancho chile, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Rub spice blend into steaks.
• Coat sliced red onion with a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Grill steaks and onion slices 5 minutes on each side. Remove from heat. Let meat stand 5 minutes for juices to redistribute. Season steaks with salt. Top with separated rings of red grilled onions. Serve with hot Cracked Cornbread and Cheese Squares and Mexican Salad.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter. Stir cheese, corn, and scallions into packaged mixed corn muffin batter.
• Pour batter into baking dish and bake at 400 degrees F until golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Yield: 4 + servings
• Cut avocados in half, working around the pit. Separate the 2 halves. Remove pit and scoop out avocado flesh with a spoon. Wedge avocados and pile in the center of a large platter. Seed and wedge tomatoes and arrange around the avocados. Spread sliced onion over platter. Sprinkle platter with cilantro. Squeeze the juice of 2 limes evenly over vegetables. Season with coarse salt. Drizzle platter with oil and serve.
• Yield: 4 servings

Steps:

• Let the steaks come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of each steak with the oil and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with the orange peel, if desired, to create the spice rub. Sprinkle the rub on both sides of the steaks, pressing to adhere to the surface of the meat (some spice rub will be left over).
• If using a gas grill, preheat to medium- to medium-high, depending on your grill. If using a charcoal grill, distribute the hot charcoal or wood briquettes evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Oil the grate.
• Grill for about 7 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare. Let steaks rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Grease 9-inch square baking pan.
• Rub both sides of steak with garlic and cumin, then with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and lime juice. Let stand while preparing peppers.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and cook until beginning to brown, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes.
• Add chiles and peppers and stir until heated through.
• Add cream, then 3/4 cup cheese and stir until mixture thickens, about 1 minute.
• Add oregano. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over high heat.
• Season steak with salt and pepper. Cook until brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side for very rare.
• Transfer to work surface. Halve across width, then cut against grain into thin slices.
• Hold 1 tortilla over gas burner on low or place on electric burner on low until heated through, about 15 seconds per side. Place tortilla on work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup pepper mixture down center of tortilla. Top with 1/4 of meat. Roll up tortilla, enclosing filling.
• Arrange in baking pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas, 3/4 cup pepper mixture, and remaining meat.
• Spoon remaining pepper mixture over tortillas.
• Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese.
• Bake uncovered until cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes.
