Dinner request

[Tony R]

My lovely wife is going to PA for a week on business and requested we have dinner at home and wanted carne asada. Here is what we did...

Seasoned with Lawrys salt and let it sit for 15 min. Then added Chef Merito.


We made her salsa..


Using the same CI with the same oil did some refried beans.




Cooking directly on coals hot and fast.


This did not take long..






Plated with some chopped avocado and mayo for the beans.



Thanks for looking.

Tony, Thanks for sharing and the food looks great. Will have to try that.

 

[Rolf Jacobsen]

I like the way you did the refried beans in the same oil. You just know I'm going to be doing that. Thanks!

 

[Mike Coffman]

That looks absolutely delicious Tony!

 

[NeilH]

[Frank H]

That looks tremendous , brother. That fire shot is a work of art. You should frame that.

I'm not sure what I liked better, the cook or the photography! Well done Tony.

I don't think we use much... Maybe 30 lbs a week.

Looks awesome Tony! Went to my local Mexican market last weekend to get some Flank and Skirt for some taco's, turned out disastrous! Meat was like rubber, real tough no matter what doneness it was. They had it marinaded and non-marinaded. I got the marinaded. My neighbor goes and gets 200lbs for our big block party every year and it's awesome! From the bag straight to the fire. What do suggest I ask for?

Great looking "last meal".

I think they gave you something called diesmillo and they just put carne asada. Ask for "ranchera" or "arracherra " in our area it cost 5.99 pound and the others stuff diesmillo or chuck will be 3.99. Or give me their number and I will call for you and ask what they have..
