For today's cook I'm gonna show you how to take a regular corn and transform it
to one that tastes like a million bucks. Now if you thinking we're gonna be eating
corn by itself you're absolutely incorrect. We are a steak Channel after
all and today I'm gonna be making the most incredible skirt steak you've ever
seen in your life. It's gonna be juicy tender and absolutely delicious.
This is taking regular corn and steak and making it taste like a million bucks.
So let's do it!
The first thing we need to start off is something that it's called sofrito. This
is a pack flavor mix to go along with our corn. So in a hot skillet I throw in some
oil, followed by some white onion and cook it into I got a little bit of color.
Throw in diced bell peppers and mix it well. After about two minutes add in
minced garlic. Saute and let it cook for an additional two minutes. Make sure to
keep the pan under medium low heat, the last thing you want is to burn the
garlic. Now add some tomato paste and mix it well. The purpose of the tomato paste
is not only to add additional flavor but also to glaze the pan. What that means is
to have those little things stick to the pan as it's getting cooked it also
produces a nice maillard reaction on it and it's what makes your sofrito taste
so good because we're gonna deglaze it, and to do that I throw in some beer. Make
sure you scrape the whole pan you don't want to leave any of that funk behind. Let
it simmer until the beer is completely gone. And remember exact amount in
ingredients always on the description down below for you. To finish it off
season it with salt, freshly ground black pepper and your sofrito is done. This
tastes amazing and it's so good you can use it from many other dishes. Now let's
talk about corn. These are sweet corn and this is exactly how they came,
unfortunately without a husk. Especially in today's times we gotta get what we
can and this was the only one left in my supermarket. But hey I'm not complaining
I was very greatful I was able to get it. And this is cotija cheese to my
surprise this is always available even in today's time because it's not that
popular and you will always find it in the Latin section in your supermarket,
but you're also able to order it online. And this is Mexican Tajin it is an
incredible seasoning that goes along with many dishes. Again you will be able
to find this one in your Latin aisle on your supermarket and just kiss you don't
you can always get it online. The unique thing about this seasoning is that it
does not only taste amazing but it has a very strong powerful taste of lime, so
whenever you're using it keep that in mind and don't add too much because it's
nice and powerful. The first thing I need to do is to boil the corn. I tried this
recipe before by just grilling the corn and it is not the same. For some reason
boiling it gives a much better texture and that's what I recommend. You want to
boil it into it's nice and soft to your taste.
Once it's done quickly remove it and set it into a cooling rack. As it's still hot
smother some butter on it do it like you mean it. We all know that
butter makes everything better and for corn is absolutely true. To make
it easier to handle I edit some wooden skewers, and if you
don't have any available it's not necessary. And to give that nice char
flavor I used my torch. Now let me tell you
something this goes quick so be very precise and fast with that torch. Because
as you can see that thing will char instantly. Once I was done this is what I
got. It's nice and soft because of the boiling water but I still have that nice
char flavor. Now the next step might sound weird for
a lot of people but I'm telling you it works like a charm;
and that is to spread a good amount of mayo on it, you will not be able to taste
it. The reason for the mayor is so that he can act as a binder because the next
thing we're gonna do is fill it up with the cotija cheese. Now make sure you add
it to every single edge trust me you cannot overdo it
this cheese together with the corn combination is absolutely incredible.
Now the only thing left to do is to spread that to tajin seasoning all over.
Remember not to put too much. Throw in that wonderful sofrito on top.
Now if you don't only want to make it taste like a million bucks but also look
like one add in some thin slices of radish and
jalapeno. To top it off add a little piece of lime, a little bit of chives and
your Mexican Street corn is done. This my friends tastes absolutely incredible and
I really hope you give this one a try. But like I said we're not gonna be
eating this by itself we're gonna make some incredible steaks. And talking about
that I'm using these beautiful skirt steaks.
After picanha in my house this is my family's favorite steak.
The flavor is just amazing the good thing about it is that they're not that
expensive. And the first thing I like to do is to marinate it. So for that like
throw in a little bit of red wine, followed by olive oil, mustard powder,
garlic and my secret ingredient umami powder. And remember exact amount in
ingredients always in the description down below for you. Now there's left to
do is to mix it well when your marinade is done. It's a good idea to pick each
individual steak and mix them well. This will ensure that every single one of
them has a nice coated with that beautiful marinade. For even better
results do it overnight. Once it's done remove it from the
marinade and put it on a cooling rack. As you saw it on the marinade itself there
was no seasoning that's because I like to add all the salt myself so I can put
the correct amount. So talking about that after seasoning them with salt I went in
with freshly ground black pepper. Make sure you season all sides in
in the edges. I recommend putting it back in the refrigerator and letting the salt
penetrate into the meat for at least one hour. That will ensure that the skirt
steak is seasoned all the way through. I've also made a quick simple sauce to
go along with it and here's how. In a pot throw in some white vinegar, followed by
a few spoon of tomato sauce, then throwing soy sauce and brown sugar.
Remember exact amount and ingredients always on the description down below for
you. Now keep another medium heat and let the sauce reduce to half. Once it has
reduce your sauce is done. This is the exact consistency you're looking for but now
that we have everything ready all there's left to do is to cook these
beautiful steaks. I'm gonna be cooking them in direct heat. Remember they're
thin so you gotta go nice hot and fast. But how I say it is enough talking and
it is time to grill this beautiful steak. So let's do it!

All right everybody here's my take on Mexican corn Angel. This is Street
Mexican corn and obviously skirt steak with a little sweet and tart sauce, which
i think is gonna be good. I'm excited to try. You ready? Let's jump
right in. Which one we gotta go first? The steak! All right let's go for that
steak. Cheers everybody!
Wow! that is a huge
amount of flavor. A lot of charcoal on this. You know why because...
Because you know I like the charcoal so you put it. That's right what happened is when
you're cooking the steak everybody it's the direct grilling. There is no indirect
you're just going full power every single time until you get that
doneness that you like. Also at the same time you're getting a wonderful,
wonderful char which is what you like. I love it. It's my thing bro it's what I do.
I looove charcoal! Charcoal is good. But you made a sauce. I did make a sauce so it's only
right that we try it right. Absolutely absolutely. Go for it. Tell me what you
think about the sauce. Let's try it out. Mm-hmm. This sauce is a little
bit sweet a little bit tart as you guys know. It has a little bit of a lot of
different things but I think it goes very nice with a skirt steak. You ready
for the sauce? Let's try it out man. Cheers everybody! Cheers.
Mmm. Completely change the steak.
Right? Now it's like Asian style. Yeah. Really really sweet soy
sauce. Mm-hmm. Well it's good though. With a little bit of tart because there's
quite a bit of vinegar in there also some tomato sauce. That sauce is amazing.
You can use this sauce for any type of steak that you want to completely change
the profile of the steak. Are you ready to try the Mexican corn. I think it's I
think it's time already. Well the good thing about is that you see it the
sofrito which is on top allows the actual stuff to stay on top of everybody it
doesn't fall off. Now what you want to do, exactly, what you wanna do squeeze a
little bit. Now hold on a second before you try anything oh we got a jalapeno in
there. Oh! So if you don't like it too spicy then I suggest you take the
jalapeno out. Jalapeno this? But it's very very thin yeah. No spicy for me today.
No spicy for you? Today I'm gonna be chill. Cheers! There's only one way huh?
It's so flavorful and so juicy. It's like how do you describe this one? You're probably
used to that sweet butter and barbecue for the for the corn right. Right right
right. This is like if if you could think about like the Mexican flavors of like
the spices and all that maybe even like I would say like even like a Bloody Mary
ish I have a thing like the rim the rim. Maybe maybe maybe. For the fancy ones.
It's like that but with corn that's all I can say. I will say this if you had never had this everybody. Is that cheese?
Yeah it's called cotija cheese. If you never had this everybody definitely give
it a try. It is so wonderful it is not hard to make the sofrito on top really
gives a nice unique flavor. But you know if you don't want to do it and you don't
want to spend too much time with the sofrito just do the regular stuff which
is basically the cotija cheese and all that you saw it. Using the torch is
wonderful because it's instant. I put the torch in and it automatically
give that nice char. Which one is better? This one or the steak? Oh. I put you on
the spot. Which one is better? What are you doing? Oh come on Angel! Anyway guys I
