Crying Tiger Steak

[Pequod]

No tears were shed over this one, other than tears of joy. This was one seriously flavorful dish. Let's get rolling.

Start by juicing two limes:

Then slice some shallots. I like to name my shallots "Gene":

Let these marinate in lime juice for awhile:

Next, slice some cherry tomatoes:

And toss in a handful of coarsely chopped cilantro and mint:

Make a rub of brown sugar, kosher salt, and white pepper:

Where there is rub, there must be something to be rubbed. Skirt steak:

Run the KK up to nuclear:

And grill it:

Howsabout some pineapple while we're at it?

Now add some fish sauce and red pepper flakes to the shallots and lime juice:

Slice the steak. Nailed it!

Toss it all together:

And serve:

 A simple cook with HUGE flavors.

Thanks! Wasn't planning on this being a challenge cook, but I guess this month is beef and it was mighty tasty. Planning some beef plate ribs next weekend, so maybe wait to see how those come out.

Thanks, but wasn't really planning a challenge cook. Too simple! From what I've seen, challenge cooks require waaaay more originality and ingredients than I've got, and a camera waaaay better than my iPhone!

Don't sell yourself or your picture skills short - that is definitely challenge worthy material. 

With some of the challenges a simpler cook wins. Next month in the chop challenge I'm going to try for the least amount of ingredients and simplest cook I can do. - figure last cook of the series and I need to go all out - LOL

Awright, you talked me into it. Popped it into the entry thread.

A very nice looking presentation, from the beginning to the plated ending.  The plated dish is very eye appealing.  Thank you for sharing.  Do you mind if we "borrow" your ideas ?  LOL.
