My guess: Looks like it was cooked in a griddle at very high temp and just a spoon of cooking oil. Is it a flank steak?
Looks like marinated “arrachera”, extremely juicy, usually bulky without clean single cuts. If that is the case, most of the flavor comes from the marinated.
Can be cooked on the plank or the grill, less than 6 minutes on each side. Extremely easy to cook and popular meat in Mexico.
Flank or skirt steak on a very hot griddle.
looks like it could be arrachera which can either be inside skirt or flap steak but the color seems a bit strange. I would expect that color from cecina which is a type of salted thin cut meat that is left to cure a bit. It seems to thick to be cecina, though.
Arrachera, aka Flank Steak
“Cecina”
It looks well done.
Arrachera, the best cut in the entire world
Looks like it was microwaved 🧐
(A joke, guys—bunch of down voters lol)
What a combo plate ! I’m jealous!
Skirt skirt
It could be “Tampiqueña”
Wait, I thought arrachera was hanger steak?!
Definitely arrachera, which was my favorite when I visited Mexico City.
What are those enchiladas on the side with the green sauce, along with, I think, a chile poblano?
Looks delicious!!
Maybe is Cecina, salad meat from Morelos, México.
Looks great!
Parece cecina
Steak? Of what… an otter? 🤢
Asada or carne ranchera.
Esa es una arrachera!!!
The name is tampiqueña
This is bottom sirloin aka flap/arrachara/bavette. It’s probably been marinated and cooked on a comal as there are no grill marks.
Arrachera is usually hanger steak
Looks like arrachera – Costco sells it as Skirt steak! It’s the same steak used for ropa vieja.
Marinade : beer, lime, onions & salt then grill. Or just salt, onions, lime and grill.
Arrachera, so fkn delicious 👌
Looks like bottom sirloin flap steak and cooked on the flat grill.
No diejeron que te gusta el chile. Vamos a bañar tu chile en chile.
Tasajo in Oaxaca. [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasajo](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasajo) Served on chilaquiles frequently or along with many other meals. Very tasty. Grilled but can be done in a pan too.
Flank or skirt steak, cooked on a flat iron griddle.
Shit was boiled lol
Es aranchera and it Marianne from a special part of the beef
Why the hell did I sign up to r/mexicanfood and r/chinesefood while on a DIET!
A la plancha
The dish it’s called “carne a la tampiqueña”.
Looks like a skirt steak that wasn’t marinated or given any love.
ARRACHERA MARINADA
I love this type of steak
Tampiqueña
Mexican here.
-Enchiladas suizas, chicken filled rolled tacos with a tasty green sauce.
-Chile relleno, stuffed poblano pepper filled with either ground meat, a combination of cheese or something else. Covered with egg and a red sauce.
-Arrachera, inside skirt on a pan
Looks like arracherra, chile relleno and two tacos dorados. (Chicken)
The dish is called tampiqueña and the meat is marinated flank steak.
Arrachera
Tampiqueña
Not sure if arrachera is the same thing but this looks very similar to the tasajo (aged beef) I had in Oaxaca.
Its arrechera, which is flank steak. Its marinaded in lime and a few other things that gives it the flavor and increases the tenderness.
