Beef: the one ingredient that always throws Hubby for a loop when he
spots it in the cart. No joke, the entire cart could be filled with Twinkies,
Doritos, mozzarella sticks, chicken wings- no double look there…..But you throw
in a pack of beef- burgers, ground beef, tenderloins…he stops the cart, holds
up the item and needs to know immediately what it’s for and when we are having
it! What is it with men and meat?
HHHHmmmm…..I think I’ll leave that one for you to ponder;)
Anywho, the man loves his red meat I guess. And you know what? I do too! Not like a lover of it, but
from time to time, I do crave it, order it, buy it and make it. I think I’ll
actually make it more in the summer when we’ll hopefully get a grill. Now that
sounds like something I would even stop my cart for- Filet Mignons portioned
perfectly for a drizzle of oil, S & P and thrown on the sizzling grill……Oh
summer….
Ah, I digress…..back
to my relationship with red meat. Like I was saying, I do enjoy it. One of my
favorite versions is actually this recipe: Steak Fajitas. I found this
seasoning mix by a quick Google search. I adapted it for what I had on hand and
it came out great. I served the fajitas just like they do at my favorite
Mexican restaurant,Jose Tehas, steaming and sizzling right in the pan. We
assembled our own fajitas, jazzed them up as we wanted, and enjoyed a delicious
restaurant re-do! Enjoy….
