Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arrachera

    Marinate the arrachera steak with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes.

    In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced green chiles over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Refried Beans

    In a separate pot, heat the refried beans and stir in chopped epazote for additional flavor.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the grilled arrachera on a plate topped with sautéed green chiles, alongside Spanish rice, guacamole, and epazote refried beans.
