      Unless a national emergency state, the president has no right to give orders to a civilian.
      Besides, asking would only have been "nice" even if it was possible :)

    hi chef John, the brand Goya has sour orange in a bottle. the bottle reads naranja agria. I use it for my Carne asada/skirt steak . hope this helps.

    Dear Chef John I am your biggest fan, I'm also Cuban. I watch you EVERY single night before I go to sleep, something about the tone of your voice is soothing. Anyways, I grew up eating bistec (steak) with extremely similar marinades and I'm so happy to see you made it your own. Love you to pieces. Thanks for the video and for showing some Cuban goods. Next time do a Cuban Sandwich!!! :)

    Cuban pork, black beans and rice is one of my family's top-five dishes. I never thought to try the mojo with beef. Duh. Looks like I have dinner for this Saturday night. Brace yourself, familia!

    Chef John, you can sometimes find sour oranges in a Persian Market by the name of "Narenj" (nah-renj). It is a sour orange/mandarin. Very fragrant with big seeds. Great stuff, persians put it on everything especially fish and herb rice dishes.

  • @troyallen5806

    Grilled skirt steak is amazing! The only way to mess it up regardless of marinade or seasoning is to overcook it. Another great video Chef.

  • @stephisteti
    @stephisteti 8 років тому +19

    also, in northern california (SF + Sac) I've been able to find sour oranges in mercados/bodegas...I believe Goya even makes a bitter orange juice for marinade usually next to the sofrito.

    You can buy bottles of sour orange/naranja agria in most Hispanic grocery stores. You may see the sour oranges, but even if you don't, the bottled stuff works well. (Which is what I'll be getting to do this recipe -- because it looks amazing. Thank you.)

    Skirt steak has gotten so damn expensive, I guess the word has gotten out. There are far fewer secret goldmine cuts of beef than there used to be.

    • @davidferrer678
      @davidferrer678 8 років тому +5

    • @whiskey-tango-foxtrot4306
      @whiskey-tango-foxtrot4306 8 років тому +28

      Everytime I see these guys using skirt steak and flank like they are cheap cuts of beef, youre lucky if you get skirt steak on sale for 6.99/lb...i remember when it was under $3...

    • @davidferrer678
      @davidferrer678 8 років тому +3

      +joe no it's in demand price goes up, but at least for my state it's still the cheapest best cut you can get.

    • @jazzmann9159
      @jazzmann9159 8 років тому +16

      Yeah, stores just don't give a fuck lol . Flank steak, hangar steak, flat iron, it's all like lobster, and I guess there's people still buying it at that price so that's what the price will stay at

  • @justaddmusclecom
    @justaddmusclecom 8 років тому +29

    Cubans do not use Olive oil or Cayenne or Oregano in their Mojo. The Bitter Orange was spot on though, we also use Bay Leaves and in the case where cant find Bitter Orange you can get away with Lime Juice.

    • @DJ2punto0

    Put that on some corn tortillas with cilantro and a squeeze of lime, and caramelized onions. Yeah baby. Listening to Chef John is like aural Valium, so soothing and relaxing. You could bottle your voice and sell it as anti-anxiety medication.

  • @Palewolf
    @Palewolf 8 років тому +10

    Grapefruit + orange would be a lot closer to sour orange than the lime (i think), since sour orange is quite a bit more bitter than sour. Unless sour orange is a different thing, i've almost always heard the term bitter orange instead, but i think those are the same.

    I tried this yesterday and the flavor is spectacular. I do have just one suggestion though (which I should actually do in the blog since all the ingredients are there).
    I appreciate this will sound a bit lazy, but it would really help for us viewers from abroad (I write to you from Brazil) to have quantities in kilograms and milliliters too, since converting the quantities at the market was a bit of a pain! But other than that, keep up the fantastic recipes!

    Holy Smoke! I thought skirt steak was a "forgotten cut." I thought I'd try this one for the weekend. Just got back from a scout of several local markets - large grocery to specialty butchers - and skirt steak is, as my Irish grandma used to say, "quite dear" (pricey). Guess I'll have to ice up a cooler and make a Costco run to see what they have. BTW, flank steak isn't too far behind. I'm in central NJ.

    Skirt steak... that's gotta be one of the best pieces of the cow. You can do all kinds of stuff with that. And this looks awesome. I think the oranges you want to look for when looking for sour oranges are Sevilles, but I could be mistaken. Any chance you could do a spicy ginger beef recipe? Something to beat that really sad-looking Chinese restaurant stuff?

    Great recipe! However, we do have sour oranges in my country, and their flavor will NOT be simulated in any way with regular oranges, because the latter are, well, sweet! I believe that the marinade will be closer to the original recipe WITHOUT the orange, and just keeping the limon, as it will provide enough sourness and acidity.
