Grilled Flank Steak Tacos


I like to call them street tacos. So delicious!! Who knew that meat, tortillas, onions and cilantro could be so addicting? This is something you could get off of a Taco Truck. If you know me, I am a taco truck fan.

Street Tacos

flank steak: marinated with chile powder, cumin, coriander, green onions, garlic, lime juice, salt and oil
white onions
cilantro
corn tortillas

Grill the marinated meat, chop, then add to tortillas. You can add any toppings.
Quick, easy and most of all delicious.

*** these can be made with other meats: grilled chicken, chorizo, slow roasted pork or grilled fish.

Tracy's Crab


WOW!! Tracy's Crab is so good. When I was working at Mani Pedi, every year for my birthday Tracy Ng would make me Vietnamese crab. 

Tracy's Crab

dungeness crab
butter
cream
cilantro
thai basil
pepper

Fry the crab, then toss in the melted butter and cream mixture. Add the chopped herbs and fresh cracked pepper when serving. 

*** you can buy already cooked and cleaned crab and just heat in the cream, sometimes this is easier, and a lot less messy. but the fresh fried crab is so good

Fish n' Chips

Fish n' Chips

1 cup flour
1 cup beer
2 egg whites
salt

mix the flour, salt and beer and then fold in eggs. Dip and fry for a few minutes at 350. I use canola oil. Place on newspapers or paper bags. Yummy!! Serve with vinegar, usually malt. You can fry the chips before or after the fish. I usually do them in the oven. Toss with oil, garlic and rosemary.
