I was at the grocery store and they had top round steaks on sale for $3.50/lb, so I decided to do some fajitas. I’ve never used this cut before, but thought it would be fun to try something different.
Seasoned the steaks with an Ancho chili powder and a wet paste of;
Olive oil
Cilantro
Garlic
Lemon
Lime
Cumin
Salt and pepper
Made the wife my 3.2.1 Margarita while the meat marinated
3oz Tequila
2oz Fresh squeezed lime juice
1oz Orange liquor
1oz Simple syrup
I cooked the steaks over an all mesquite hardwood fire. Started with a tightly packed full chimney.
Dumped the wood and let it work down to some coals.
Fired the steaks directly over the mesquite coals
Pulled and sliced at medium rare
Served as a fajita with peppers/onion, cheese, homemade pico and japs. I also served some black beans and rice. For the black beans I used two cans drained and rinsed black beans, sautéed onion, garlic, poblano pepper, one can tomato sauce, taco seasoning and cumin.
The meal turned out great, the top round steaks were a little on the tough side, but sliced thin enough were great for a fajita. All in all the meal was great, I loved the beans and had fun cooking over the mesquite fire.
