What's the sauce put on skirt steak when just eaten with tortillas?

Question

Went to a (Mexican) friend's house for dinner and they had skirt steak that was put on tortillas, that's it (so simple and soo good). They had a green sauce and a red sauce. How do you make the sauces? And what's the difference between the red and green? How do you cook the meat?

She's visiting family in Mexico and going on vacation for the next six weeks. Otherwise, I would ask her!

It was a fairly thin sauce.

Answer 1

the green sauce may be a chimichurri, parsley, garlic, olive oil and vinegar - unless it had a tangy taste, then it was probably made with tomatillos a green tomato looking fruit and it would be called "salsa verde" - the red was probably your standard pico de gallo which is a salsa made from ripe tomatoes, onions, garlic, chilies, lime juice - or it could have been made with dried chiles reconstituted in water..... your description of "green" and "red" sauce is too vague to make an accurate assessment...

question: why dont you ask your friend?

Answer 2

It sounds like salsa verde (green sauce in the literal translation). You can find it in a can at any grocery in the ethnic foods aisle. You should be able to heat it in a skillet. Make sure it doesn't burn though.

I'm guessing you ate carne asada which is a type of steak. Cook it like you would a regular steak, but I'm not sure exactly what seasonings you add.

To my understanding, salsa verde is made with tomatillos vs red tomatoes.

Answer 3

I just buy Rosarita's green and red taco sauces.
