Well, believe it or not, I've never made Fajitas before. I've eaten them before and was never a fan of the meat per say, too tough. So, I was looking around for something to do with 1# of flank steak I had in the freezer. So, here's what I did.
I thawed it and gave it a good dusting of Rich's JAB. I also added a pad of butter just cause. Then, I ran the SV bath at 134° and let the meat run for 8 hours.
I also reserved the juices for later. Here it is out of the pack and sliced. It was incredibly tender.
In the mean time, I sliced up some onions and bell peppers. Along the way, I found Snarlingiron's Fajita mix and made some of that. I didn't have all the ingredients on hand so I improvised a bit. Instead of cilantro, I used 1 large TBL of Basil from the tube. Shredded up a bit of sharp cheese chopped up some jalapenos and green onions as well.
I took the flour tortillas and wrapped them in a some foil and put in the toaster oven at 400° for 10 minutes. They came out moist, soft and good. Might give them a little char next time.
I put the CI on the stove and got it hot. Added a touch of veggie oil, KS, and CBPl to got the vegetables taken care of:
And finally, to finish up the meat. Added some KS and CBP to the heat and we were ready.
We ran it like a buffet and used the reserved juice here if anyone wanted it. The only mistake I made was I didn't make enough. Next time I'll double the amount as it was a hit.
So, thanks for looking and thanks Rich for the JAB and Snarlingiron for the sauce mix! We'll be doing this again very soon.
