Let's Dish Cinco De Mayo

A few months ago, my wife and a neighbor went and used the service let's dish. It's a place where you can put together ingredients for meals ready to be frozen and cooked on demand. It works well at times for our busy lives. We've enjoyed it enough to do it again sometime when we really need more food.

One of the dishes she made was a flank steak "fajitas". With Cinco de mayo and the green egg, I figured why not cook the flank steak on the egg and enjoy. The freezer bag comes with a pound cut of pre-marinated flank steak, peppers & onions, a cream sauce and some flour tortillas.

Nothing special with the big green egg here, just fired it up to 400 with no plate setter. The instructions said to cook it 8 to 10 minutes, but I know the instructions are usually overly cautious to make sure the meat is cooked to a safe temperature. Instead I cooked it for 6 minutes a side. Took it off, let sit for 5 minutes and sliced cross the grain.

The fajita's were fine, nothing special, nothing bad.. added a little sriracha sauce but a simple meal, which is what I was going for more then anything.

Lessons Learned: Nothing special here. Don't always cook meat the recommended time. You may end up with overcooked steak. The meal was I hoped it was. Easy, had some flavor and quick clean-up.

Next Up: Dry aged Choice Sirloins are on sale at Byerly's. I can see a nice steak on the egg coming up. Plus the Paquiao / Mosley fight on Saturday.
