Stuffed steak. Need I say more…? Yes? Ok. Mexican Stuffed Skirt Steak. Are you drooling now? 
I’ve mentioned before that Cody and I love Mexican flavors. We will Mexican-ify everything if we can. When I realized that we have, count them, zero beef recipes on the blog, I had a mini heart attack (a non beef induced heart attack, obviously). It’s slightly confusing to me, because I love beef. I brought this crazy fact to Cody’s attention, so we came up with this powerhouse of flavor.
We’ve also come to the conclusion that Chirpy’s been a bit one dimensional with flavors so far – but what’s good is good, right? A super flavorful steak. Tomato, onion and bell peppers with a limey kick. Cheeese. I dare you to find fault in that.
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*
