This is a mexican dish that I have every time I go to a mexican restaurant. The piece of beef here is a flank steak that has been marinated overnight in some very hot peppers, garlic, crushed peppercorns, cilantro and olive oil. It is then seared in a very hot pan (top photo) and let to rest for about a half hour. The vegetables are the beans of course, some tomato rice pilaf, some sauteed collards, guacamole and sour cream. Normally they serve a fried japapeno with this but I didn't have one. It is also served with grilled scallions and very hot salsa.

have seen collards mentioned in your blog before. I can see they are some sort of green veg but what.? Does this come with gallons of iced water as well.
Collard greens are a type of kale like the one we would use in colcannon. It may be the same one I can't remember. They are a big part of the diet for African Americans here in the south. White people don't eat them too much.
In fact, several times as I was checking out of the Grocery shop I have been asked what they were and how they are cooked.
They are also a big part of the culture in Brazil where they are an accompaniement to the national dish called la feijoida. It was in Brazil that I learned to appreciate them and cook them.
simple to do:
Just cut the leaves off the big stalks and cut them in to strips. Heat some oil a pan and fry some chopped onions, add a pile of Collards and let them cook, add salt and pepper and some chopped garlic and you have a great vegetable. Add a little rice and you have a meal. I eat them very often.
Phil and I had lunch at a Mexican restaurant Easter Sunday. They make his favorite soup there.
What is the soup Heather. Tell us the whole story.
