I'm still cleaning out the refrigerator and trying to use things up before we leave. I came across a small plastic container of chiles chipotles and immediately thought about a rich salsa that we make (usually during the summer) with these formerly canned chiles, garlic, and tomatillos. This salsa is good on most Mexican food, but is VERY good on meat - especially steak.
So I'm thinking - let's have steak, but let's not have carbs. No potatoes, no rice, no tortillas. Let's just have un bistec pequeño and una ensalada grande on the side. I had a new recipe for a light Mexican salad, and decided to make that with our steaks and salsa last night.
It all worked out well. Good, grass-fed steaks from Whole Foods; great salsa; and a new salad recipe. The aderezo (dressing) was a combination of orange and lime juices, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper. Muy fácil. The salad itself was Romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, diced avocados, pecans, radishes, and green onions. The refrigerator is getting emptied out.
No pictures of the steak. We all know what that looks like!
