Food

[not your typical...]

Suddenly?! The last post was two-and-a-half years ago...

Yes, but I had just seen the post... and yet again my house has no food in it.

I like Really Cheap Fajitas.

I live alone and when I tend to cook, I cook a lot.  One of my favorite dishes is Really Cheap Fajitas.  See, I wait for 'Day-old Meat Day" at the Super Market and by some cheap steak that wasn't really all that great when it was at it's freshest - but it's cheap!  When I get the meat home, I cool it so it cuts up easily into Fajita-sized strips (about 3-4" by 1/4-1/2 inch.  I then marianate this meat in a mixture of vinegar and diced tomato mix (like Rotel, but I have found a local brand that include Chipotle).  To this mix I add some cumin and some seasoned salt to taste.  I generally let this meat marianate overnight - or even longer if necessary (it all depends on how tough the meat is and how strong the marinade is).  I stop marianating when the meat become noticeably softer, and by this time it's kind of actually cooked in vinegar.  I then put it in a skillet and cook the whole batch.

What I don't use immediatly, I refrigerate and keep readily available - so I'm eating Fajitas for about three days.

Hope this helps.

PS...this also works well with meat that's been freezer-burnt, and can be done with beef, chicken, pork....whatever.
