I just shared it with my girl, so I’m hoping she’ll get the ingredients when she goes shopping tomorrow….. then attempt to make all of this 😐

[@pierrecortes2143]

Oh man! Honestly the tortilla with butter was a thing I always remember ❤️. My mom would be up at 4 in the morning making lunch for her and my dad. She would always make tortillas de harina and I would wake up and she would roll a fresh one and put either salt or butter! I would go back to sleep until it was time to get ready for school! You're always welcome to the carne asada!! Love your videos!

You make a compelling case for getting out of the apartment and getting a house; need a BBQ in my life!! I’ve been cooking chicken I’ve had marinating for 24hrs and drying off before griddling, something I recently learned through watching these so keep them rolling I like them a lot 👌🏻

[@thatdudecancook]

thanks! and I actually really like using grill pans if you cant get outside

[@NateFreestyle]

I agree. The problem is hardly anyone can afford a house these days! :(

I just made flap steak tacos three days ago! I marinated overnight in my own mojo blend and it was phenomenal. I had leftover fixings from chicken shawarma pitas earlier in the week and used some of the leftover steak in a pita with tzatziki, hummus, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cucumber. Holy crap it was phenomenal.

Followed every step, and made it exactly like you did in the video. Except a different cut of meat, and I used lard instead of your fancy steak butter. Everything turned out amazing. The tortillas were delicious. Now I'm just trying to memorize the measurements so I can make it again and again. Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos.

[@thegodofpez]

Tacos are by far my favorite food. I can’t wait to try this version and the birria methods. So much potential flavor landscaping if you make tacos at home. Love it! 🌮

Flavor landscaping? Ooh you’re my new best friend! 🌮

[@ace-gj3wn]

He's right about the lard being traditional, but I bet that home made butter made the tortillas bomb! the dude can really cook cause hes right about the thin roll and puff my mom can make them perfectly puffy, mine come out horrible compared to both of them lol. I'm taking that non traditional soy sauce tip and gonna try it just cause he knows what hes doing its gotta be good!

[@thegodofpez]

@@ace-gj3wn Sounds delicious!

[@thehungryhussey]

Man those tacos look fire! Thanks for posting.

[@GarciaRichardJr]

We've been using flap meat for a few years now. My marinade is a little similar to yours; chipotle power, add honey, ginger, Mexican oregano, sometimes jalapenos for more heat, the rest is the same, soy, garlic, shallot/onion, etc. Thank you for your content and recipes.

[@nancyeaton731]

I also add sweetness, I use molasses. I bet sweet soy sauce would be a good addition too. It will help add caramelization to the meat.

[@katherinehannah591]

Wow, I haven’t ever heard or tried ginger in a Carne Asada recipe, I’ll have to try 🎉

[@memecenter122]

Flap steak has no reason to be so underrated and so delicious at the same time

[@thatdudecancook]

I totally agree! I would honestly prefer it over a filet mignon

That cut of steak is called Bavette in the UK and Europe. It is cheap as chips, even in my local Waitrose. My freezer is stuffed full of them - it is such a fridge kicking tasty cut of beef!

[@cvan7737]

Man I'm new to your videos but am really liking them. I appreciate how you can say things like "If you don't toast whole cumin seeds, just use ground cumin" while getting the point across one option is better than the other without sounding like a butt head about it. I will be watching more, nice work and Thank you!

This is the only meat I use when I make carne asada tacos!! Awesome dude that you are spreading the word. It’s so tender and has great flavor and an awesome price here where I am from. I also recommend using it for fajitas.

[@JaiMaldonado111]

It looks so delicious. That will be my next dinner recipe for sure! Thanks I am just getting done with Cuban sandwich! Marinated low and slow! Delicious!

[@kunicooking]

Good choice my friend! Flap is delicious cut used in Mexico and Argentina. You should make your tortillas with just water and lard, but your tortillas are pretty good. Depending in the region of Mexico you'll find people that never marinate the meat, but some other will do. Either way is perfect. If cooked correctly, don't even need to cut across the fibers. Is a very tender cut. My mouth is watering right now! I'm making "Arrachera" this 4th of July weekend! Thanks for your videos!

[@heresjohnny58]

I just finished making your chipotle bbq sauce from your pulled pork video. Gonna use it for some baby back ribs!! Tastes fantastic sonny, you continue to impress my friend.

[@Watchdog_UFOtestpilot]

We call it Bavette, and it is one of my top 5 favorites. However, skirt is my favorite for tacos that aren’t lengua. I love your channel dude, keep ‘em coming.

That looks genuinely sick! I can't wait to go shopping tomorrow! Love the vids and the great food ideas, keep rocking my dude 🤘🤘

[@awightman1221]

Fantastic video and great channel. One thing you do very well is using prepared sauces in more than 1 way (chipotle marinade + salsa, butter bath + steak butter). I know itis a normal instinct for chefs but a lot of cooking channels on youtube don't explain it or deliver it so well.

[@sweetypoo2164]

Youre my favorite cooking dude.

[@Jungleshoes]

I bought a flap steak a few years ago when I was visiting my parents in Arizona. It was from Fry's and came already in a marinade. I had never heard of flap steak before but I thought it looked good. I cooked it on a propane barbecue and just kind winged it and it turned out really really good.

[@dizzydwarf502]

Anything that calls for skirt steak, I replace with Flap steak. Once I tried it, became my favorite meat for tacos instantly!

[@yurbeeinwatched]

Yes! I've been using soy sauce and flap steak for a few years. I personally go heavier on the cilantro and add some lemon juice.

That's an impressive recipe from moncheite made marinade to karate-kicked fridge! I have to look for flap!

[@dough9752]

Looks amazing! This is Sonoran style taco. You're just missing some shredded cabbage and a grilled green onion. What many don't know is the best beef in Mexico comes from Sonora (Northern Mexico). In Sonora, they use flour tortillas like in this video. Absolutely tasty. If you're in LA, I highly recommend trying out Sonoratown Tacos!

[@dough9752]

@A Z Of course! Order the costilla/grilled beef taco. Salsa has a kick so ask for it on the side of you're not a fan of spicy. Enjoy!

[@Thermalburn]

Flap meat is a great cut, I've using it for years. I'm glad people dont find it that popular, because its actually relatively cheap. Whenever a cut of meat gets popular it shoots up in price. For example I used to buy prime briskets for like $30 from costco, but ever since the pandemic a lot of people have gotten into smoking so it's driven the price up quite a bit.

[@nancyeaton731]

This looks fantastic. And I love flap steak!! It’s hard to find and one of my favorite cuts. I also like flat iron steak. That poor fridge.

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

Sonny, When you dropped this video, I could not WAIT to try this, but I had to because it was midnight when I saw it and all the stores were closed! Yesterday, I went to my local market and bought all of the ingredients, including flap steak. And then when I got home and started preparing my mise en place, I realized I'd forgotten the limes! But I had lemons and your voice popped into my head "Don't let anything stop you from cooking! These are guidelines!" I decided to skip making my own tortillas because I live in San Diego and we can get good tortillas over here :) But mostly I was just lazy. Dude. These were the best fucking tacos I've ever made in my life. WOW. Thanks for the recipe!
