    I'm French, Skirt steak is Bavette in French, Bavette and Onglet have never ever been considered real tough cuts here in France, just meat with a bit of texture and more flavour ; cut against the grain once it's cooked and you're fine, no need to hammer the meat :-) that being said, I love your channel, the recipe looks great, and can't wait to try it! thanks for the great videos, all the best!

    A similar technique is used in Iranian cuisine to make “Kabab Barg” which translates to “Leaf Kebab”. First the cut of meat is butterflied and then pounded and tenderized using the back of a knife. Usually a really long knife is used for this technique.

    Tips from a mexican for carne asada:

      that looks to be a machete, and by the custom work on the back side plus what almost looks like a notched bottle opener at the base, it was probably custom fabbed. you can likely find a fab shop in your area that could do something like this, you’ll just want to get it sharpened before using it.

      @annabarth7264 Рік тому +1

      Cut a lemon in half, squeeze the juice onto the board, add a generous sprinkle of table salt, and use the "face" of the lemon to scrub the board.
      Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe & wash with a sponge & dish soap. Allow to dry fully, then condition the wood as you normally would using cutting board oil.
      The citric acid in the lemon penetrates the wood & it disinfects the board quite well (it also can remove odors & sometimes stains).
      *You can also cut each half into 4-6 pieces (depending on the size of the lemon) & run it through the garbage disposal with the hottest tap water your faucet allows to help clean the disposal & add a nice fresh scent.. 😁
