Recipe: Skirt Steak Tacos with Red Cabbage Slaw
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. skirt steak, sliced into 4-inch pieces
- 4 tablespoons neutral oil, divided (safflower or canola)
- 2 tablespoons Southwestern spice mix, divided
- 1 small yellow/brown onion, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 quart no-salt beef stock (Swanson’s is great) + extra
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cups shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (Primal Kitchen is great)
- 8 Rise & Puff Everything Tortillas
- Hot sauce to taste
Instructions:
- Coat the skirt steak with 2 tablespoons of oil, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the Southwestern spice mix, cover, and let it sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Sear the steak pieces on both sides until nicely browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- Add another tablespoon of oil and the chopped onions to the same skillet. Cook until the onions become translucent, which should take around 4 minutes. Add red wine, bring it to a boil. Then, add the beef stock, tomato paste, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. Bring it back to a boil.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for two hours, stirring occasionally. If needed, add more beef stock during cooking.
- After two hours, turn off the heat. Using two forks, shred the meat right in the skillet and keep it warm.
Red Cabbage Slaw:
- In a separate bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, thinly sliced red onions, and cilantro leaves.
- Add lime juice, avocado oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Gently toss the ingredients to coat the slaw evenly.
Assembling the Skirt Steak Tacos:
- Heat the Rise & Puff Everything Tortillas in a non-stick pan or grill over medium heat. Heat the tortillas for 20-30 seconds per side until they puff up, increasing the cook time for greater crispiness.
- Take a warm tortilla and add some of the shredded steak on top. Then, add the red cabbage slaw and splash your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Fold the tortilla in half to create the perfect skirt steak taco, and get ready to savor the culinary masterpiece you've just created!
