Tacos De Arrachera Al Carbon
A few weekends ago, Tony Lopez taught me how to make authentic Tacos De Arrachera Al Carbon. (Tony is installing our landscaping pavers.) I was able to find arrachera steak at "Tienda Mi Mazatlan" - a Mexican carniceria located in Redmond (16720 Redmond Way, Suite D). Tienda Mi Mazatlan sells arrachera steak with or without a house marinade. Either way is good.

To prepare the tacos, you'll need the following ingredients:

2 lbs arrachera steak
Lawry's garlic salt (course ground with parsley)
Biff's Fresh Salsa (with pineapple)
Biff's Fresh Guacamole
corn tortillas
3-4 jalepeño peppers, sliced in half lengthwise
1 red pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise
1 green pepper, seeded and sliced lengthwise
1 onion, sliced
olive oil
salt
pepper

Preheat grill.

In a large ziploc bag, combine jalepeño peppers, red peppers, green peppers, and onions. Add about 1-2 tbs of olive oil to bag as well as salt and pepper to taste. Seal bag and toss to thoroughly coat vegetables. Stack the arrachera steak on a plate lighting dusting each side with garlic salt.

Grill steak on hot grill until medium rare, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Grill jalepeño peppers, peppers, and onions until tender and blackened. Lower heat and lightly toast one side of the corn tortillas on grill. Cut steak into strips making sure to cut perpendicular (or against) the grain of the meat.

To assemble a taco place a corn tortilla on a plate with the toasted side down. Put 3-4 strips of the grilled arrachera steak on the tortilla and top with Biff's Fresh Salsa (with pineapple), Biff's Fresh Guacamole, one half of a grilled jalepeño pepper (or some of the grilled red and green peppers for those that can't take the heat), and some of the grilled onions. Serve with ice cold Mexican coke. See pictures below:
