Flank Steak Burritos

Flank Steak Burritos

INGREDIENTS

4 0z sliced flank steak

Olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Marinade:

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 jalapeño chile pepper, seeded and minced

1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seed (best to lightly toast the seeds first, then grind them)

TT fresh cilantro, leaves and stems, finely

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

TT limes, juiced

TT white vinegar

TT sugar

TT olive oil

METHOD

1 Lay the flank steak in a large non-reactive bowl or baking dish. Combine marinade ingredients and pour the marinade over the steak. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.

2 Preheat your grill over medium-high flame (you can also use a cast iron grill pan on high heat for stove-top cooking). Brush the grates with a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking. Remove the steak from the marinade. If you are cooking indoors, you may want to brush off excess marinade as the bits may burn and smoke on the hot pan. Season both sides of the steak pieces with salt and pepper. Grill the pieces for a few minutes only, on each side, depending on how thin they are, until medium rare to well done, to your preference. You may need to work in batches. Remove the steak pieces to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.

(Optional) Serve with warm tortillas (flour or corn). Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable. Alternatively, you can warm tortillas in a microwave: heating just one or two at a time, place tortillas on a paper towel and microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds each on high.

BETTY'S APPLE COBBLER

BETTY'S APPLE COBBLER

________________________________________

1/4c. butter

1 c. sugar

1 c. water

3/4 c. Self-Rising flour

1/4 c. shortening

1/4 c. milk

1 c. peeled apples, finely chopped

TT  tsp. cinnamon or other spices

 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a baking oval. In saucepan heat sugar and water until sugar melts. Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add milk and stir only until dough leaves side of bowl. Turn out onto lightly floured board and knead just until smooth. Roll out dough in large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle spices over apples; sprinkle apples evenly over dough. Roll up dough jelly roll fashion. Dampen edges of dough and seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place in pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup carefully around rolls. (Looks like too much liquid, but the crust will absorb it.) Bake 40-45 minutes. If using regular purpose flour use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt with flour. Check at end of 40 minutes and bake longer if necessary.  Top with whipped Cream & Cinnamon

Original recipe makes 1 cup

 1 cup all-purpose flour

 1/2 teaspoon salt

 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Stir or sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Presto, you've got self-rising flour!
