Instructions
Cooking the Onions
- Preheat a dry heavy-bottomed pan to medium-hot and place the spring onions in the pan.
- When the onions have browned well on one side turn. Repeat until the onions are browned on all sides.
- Set aside while you cook the meat.
Cooking the Arrachera
- Slice the meat into ¾" wide strips that are about 3" long.
- Preheat a thick bottomed pan to hot. Add 1 tbsp. of cooking oil and then place the meat in the pan and salt well.
- The meat will give off a lot of liquid while cooking. Turn once a minute.
- When the liquid has evaporated and the meat is nicely browned. It is ready to serve.
Serving

Notes
- The salsa we used for this recipe already includes onion and cilantro. If you use a different salsa, you can top with some finely chopped onion and cilantro which is a tasty addition.
