What is this meat?
Richard picked up this meat at Coscos and we are not sure what it is. It is cut long like a loin and it was very expensive. The package says Arrachera
marinada excelente para la parrilla. We think it's beef but not real sure. Thanks for any help.....Linda

However, flank steak is more expensive, even thought they come from the same area of the cow. Skirt steak has more fat.

Arrachera is marinated meat. They do a couple different cuts of beef and one of chicken. You cook it on a hot fire, fast and well done. We get it
on the mainland all the time when traveling and when home we purchase in Nogales, Son and bring back across the border. At restaurants on the
mainland, you will pay extra for this meat. One cut of the beef is better. I just checked the frig and we are out but I believe the better cut has
Mesquite in the name. The chicken, which I think is what you have, is really good also.

After looking at this package for months each time I was in Costco, I finally bought one. Once I opened the package it was almost twice the
size...folded in half. It is the most delicious, tender skirt steak I have tasted. Great as a steak or for tacos.
Now I buy one...cut it in half...cook one and freeze the other half.

It is definately not chicken. We will cook it in the big easy and when it cools we will slice it real thin with the slicer get more meals for this
cut.

My personal favorite of Baja beef cuts.There is a thread about this somewhere ??First time I had the the pleasure of eating it was at Pachimamas in
Loreto about 7 yrs ago.I have bought it at CCC in Cabo and cooked it in a cast iron skillet, very hot and fast.Also excellent on a hot bar-b-q!
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

Be careful Bob, you may be invited to dinner. You are safe for now though as I have decided to freeze it.

Bob's used to frozen meat. Hasn't he told you about his last marriage?
