Mexican Skirt Steak
This Mexican Skirt Steak is rubbed with a finger-licking spice mix and filled with tomato, bell peppers, onion and cheese.
A quick sear on the outside on a hot pan gives some glorious color. It is then popped in the oven at 350º for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, you are left with a perfect medium steak. It’s almost too perfect to eat. No, really. It’s so perfect, you’ll want to keep it all for yourself. Sorry family. I spend too many minutes admiring this wonderful piece of art/steak.
We served our Stuffed Mexican Steak with a generous scoop of The Best Fresh Guacamole (plus more on the side, obviously) and our amazingly awesome Loaded Sweet Corn Salad. So should you! Mm…*drool*
