Best type of steak for steak enchaladas?

Question

What is the best steak for steak enchalads? (With red sauce).

What is the best way to cook it?

I know in the restaurants it comes out nice and tender. What do I use to home and how do I cook it?

Answer 1

The steaks ( I like to use a medium priced sirloin for this purpose) are seared then cut into manageable pieces and steamed or braised in either beef broth or the red sauce (enchilada sauce) till tender; In a small skillet, heat some oil (corn, vegetable, peanut, etc) and dip corn tortillas in the oil for about 10 seconds.....transfer to a large plate and add the beef......add cheese if desired......roll and place seam side down in a greased baking dish......when you're done rolling the enchiladas, pour the red sauce over the top and top with shredded cheese........Place in a preheated 400F oven for about 20-25 minutes, till bubbly and hot throughout.......Enjoy!!!

I like to top mine with more cheese (more is better in this case!!) chopped lettuce and some hot sauce.......but serve however you prefer.....

Answer 2

Skirt Steak! That's what restaurants use.

Answer 3

yes flank or skirt
its the best as well,you are cutting it across the grain anyway so tenderness is not a issue.plus its very flavorful with nice amount of fat.sirloin too lean,tenderloin too expensive.
