Instructions

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

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.
