Choosing the Right Cut of Steak

Chipotle uses cuts from all over the cow to withstand the heat of the grill and get a deliciously charred taste. They cook their steak to a perfect medium rare. On their website, the steaks they use are described as the following:

Bottom rounds Top rounds Eye of rounds Inside rounds Outside round Sirloin Knuckle Ball tip Sirloin top

For a cheap and delicious cut, you can also consider flank steak or skirt steak! When seasoned and cooked properly, nearly anything will taste good.

Serving Suggestions

Once you smell this steak cooking, you’ll be tempted to eat it hot out of the skillet, but here are some ways to enjoy it once it has cooled down:

Steak burrito- stuff cooked steak, rice, beans, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, salsa, and your other favorite ingredients into a large tortilla and enjoy. Steak burrito bowl- same idea as the burrito, but everything goes into a bowl, minus the tortilla! It’s easier and less messy to eat and you don’t have to struggle with wrapping up a burrito. Mexican steak salad- add your steak and toppings like pico de gallo, corn, black beans, cheese, cilantro, and avocado on top of lettuce and enjoy with a cilantro lime vinaigrette or jalapeno ranch. With veggies- cook some vegetables in a large skillet with olive oil and spices and eat these with your steak.
