Bistec encebollado con calabacitas con elote

[Tony R]

Here's a cook that my mother would make for the family when I was growing up.
I wish I had documented this little better but next time I do this I will get better pics.

Here we go....

Started with thin cut top round. Seasoned with garlic salt and black pepper.

Got 2 onions and 4 jalapeños with a little oil.

After the meat was grilled I cut it up into strips and put it with the onions and let them get happy for a 10 min or so.

Then got my other CI and fried up 1/4 onion chopped onion, 2 jalapeño. Then added the zucchini and corn let them be happy for a few min then added cheese and 2 tomatoes.

Here a link I found about this dish

Plated and ready to eat.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here's an Instagram video of the grilling part. I tried to capture all the process I think it came out ok.

Awesome! My mom makes the same exact meal just with a slight variation, but identical nonetheless.

I just love your cooks that you remember as a child. I try to do many things that my father did when he cooked.

When I was kid any left overs my mom would get the calabaza y elote and make a burrito and that was my breakfast as I walked to school.

I like it. My mother lives 4 miles away from me. When I pick up my kids sometimes I see what's she's working on and that's when I remember the recipe and make it. I just reminisce when I was a kid and I would always help her.

This is her exact quote she would tell people that saw us cooking together. " I'm teaching him how to cook in case he marries a woman that can cook or if his single he won't need a woman to cook for him."

I have been her helper since I can remember.

The funny thing is that my sisters can't cook anything decent. You know what I have never ate a meal that they prepared.
