    I used a blender and a sieve then eventually a medium pasta strainer. My sieve was too fine.

    Well, of course I have made this one, used skirt steak...

    I thought it tasted great, but what do I know!  :)

    I just finished the prep for my second attempt at his bowl o' red chili. It was a super PITA. In particular, seeding/stemming 1lb of peppers and then straining the resulting paste to get rid of any chunks of skin took almost 2 hours. We'll see if it is worth it tomorrow.
    I tried this one once, complete failure, not sure I will try again.  Please share how it comes out!

    For marinades, the blender is your friend.

    Definitely better on my second attempt. I really liked it tonight.

    Two things I did differently:

    1. I trimmed the chuck roast more aggressively.
    2. I strained the paste (forgot to do it the first time, ruined the dish)

    The only thing I would change if I did it again is take out the last dose (2 tbsp) of brown sugar. Didn't need it and it made it taste sweet.

    It’s totally different when the 26 steps in the cook are MY idea :smiley:

  • do yourself a favor, use this instead. It tastes way better, it's $3, and it takes 10 seconds to dump in a bag.

    I made way better fajitas tonight in 30 minutes (i did marinate for 2 hours- open bottle, pour in bag) and they didn't have that nasty brown ring around them. No pix but they looked just as good and tasted better.
