The best drunk steak recipe to taste
The drunk steak is a delicious and juicy recipe, which can be prepared with ingredients that you have at home.
To make this recipe we are going to use 2 pounds of meat to shred, or also known as zebra meat or skirt meat.
The latter mentioned is the part that is located under the ribs of the cow. Although, you can also make this recipe with beef tenderloin or compost.
The first step in this recipe is the marinating of the meat, which helps it take on a delicious taste and smell and a very smooth texture.
All this process in general is very simple and below we will explain in detail the process of preparing the recipe, including some and final recommendations.
Drunk steak recipe ingredients
Two pounds of meat to shred.
Half a tablespoon of black pepper.
One and a half teaspoon of salt.
Three cloves of garlic.
One medium onion.
A quarter of a bunch of coriander.
A beer of about 12 ounces or a regular bottle or can.
Four fresh, ripe tomatoes.
A cup of beef broth.
Four small chilies (optional).
One green and one red pepper.
Recommendations before starting the recipe
In case you are one of the people who does not like to see onion in food, you can chop it into very small squares to add it to the marinade.
You can use non-alcoholic beer if you like, because although the flavor is not the same, it will still add a distinctive touch to the palate.
The best thing is that before starting the recipe, chop all the vegetables to add into small pieces and have them ready and reserved.
To prepare the beef consommé, what we will do is add a tablespoon of powder or beef consommé to a cup of water and stir. The ideal is to have it ready for the moment of preparing the recipe.
You can use the oven or an orchard to roast the peppers before the recipe.
Remember that the thicker the steak, the faster it cooks, but for this recipe, the ideal is to be medium thick to ensure that they are juicy in the center.
To seal the steaks, the ideal is to use a deep frying pan so that they cook in their own sauce.
Steps for the preparation of the drunk steak recipe
Note: Due to the length of the steps, we will divide the process into several parts.
Meat preparation
The first thing we will do is place the previously washed meat in a bowl or tray and begin the marinating process. To do this we add salt, pepper, minced garlic, coriander and an onion previously chopped into pieces.
As the main ingredient, we add a full beer to the bowl. The alcohol will dissipate in a short time and will be absorbed along with the flavor of the dressings by the meat.
Knead the meat with the dressings to ensure that all the ingredients are integrated.
Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for about two hours to give the meat a delicious aroma and flavor.
Preparation of the peppers
In a pan we will place the peppers to be roasted, previously wrapped in aluminum foil, as this will help them to acquire a delicious aroma and make it easier to remove the skin.
Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a bag while they are still hot so that they sweat.
After ten minutes and while they are still slightly warm, remove the skin from these. Remove the seeds and julienne them.
Steak preparation
Once the two hours of marinating have passed, remove the meat from the refrigerator and add a little oil to a pan, letting it heat up over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
Add the steaks to the skillet and let them cook to seal for a couple of minutes. After a couple of minutes, flip them over and when you notice that they take on a grilled color, remove them from the pan. Reserve the marinade ingredients in the bowl.
Follow the same process with the rest of the steak pieces. Remember that the steaks should be well cooked, so that when cooked in the sauce later, they will be soft and juicy.
Reserve the previously cooked steaks and in the same pan we will proceed to prepare the drunk sauce.
Preparation of the sauce
In the pan, add the tomatoes and sauté for about three minutes in the same juice as the meat. Add all the ingredients from the bowl you used for the marinade.
Mix all the ingredients and add the beef broth and chili to the pan, only if you like to use the latter.
Place the previously reserved steaks in the pan and add all the pieces, including the sauce that is left on the plate. Cook over low heat for a couple of minutes, but don't let the sauce get too dry.
Add the peppers and integrate well in the pan with the other ingredients, letting cook for a couple more minutes.
If you notice that the sauce is getting too dry, add one more cup of water to where you had the beef broth and pour it into the skillet.
Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes.
Once this time has passed, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Serve this steak with any other topping you want and top it off with its juice.
