Pan sauces typically require wine to lift up the browned bits from pan seared meats and vegetables. For a Cinco de Mayo twist, this recipe uses a dark beer, Negra Modelo, which works wonders with skirt steak. Enjoy!
Why Try? Skirt steak can be melt-in-your mouth wonderful with the right seasonings.
Foodie Byte: Impress your guests with these facts about Cinco de Mayo: • Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of Mexico over the French in the Battle of Puebla May 5,1862. • It is not to be confused with Mexico’s Independence Day, which is September 16, 1810. • The largest Cinco de Mayo party is not in Mexico, but is actually held in Los Angeles. It is called Festival De Fiesta Broadway.
Preparation
- Season skirt steak with half of the lime juice, Worcestershire, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in pan on high heat. Pan sear steak for two minutes on each side.
- Deglaze the pan with your favorite dark beer, keeping the steak in the pan and maintaining high heat to reduce beer to a sauce. Check for seasoning and add more lime juice, sugar or salt to your taste.
- Serve with fresh corn tortillas and top with salsa or peppers.
