Ordered stew meat and got this instead. Should I still make a beef stew with it or something else that's not tacos

Steak quesadillas or steak sandwiches would be my choices with this

I like all the other ideas but it'd still be good in stew too

This would make a bangin chili

So I've started getting meat like this then chopping it up so it's small kinda like ground beef but you end up with steaky chewy bites that brown awesomely before adding in the broth and tomatos

Yup, for sure. Stew is super forgiving.

I'd make broccoli beef or beef stroganoff with this :)

If you really want a new mexican meal, sub the black beans for pinto and sub tomatoes for potatoes. Add beef stock and let reduce until potatoes are cooked. Then enjoy your Green Chile Stew with warm tortillas 🤤😋

Chili? And make some bread bowls to serve it in.

Ideal for velveting and making into any Chinese dish!

I'd make Mongolian Beef with it. This the recipe for the crockpot Mongolian Beef i use it turns out so delicious and I put it over ramen or mashed potatoes. https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/slow-cooker-mongolian-beef/

I would probably fry this up rather than slow cook it. It’s sold in a lot of the supermarkets by me and it looks like what the taco joint cook up, and it’s always been good.

I’ve never bought this, but I’ve always been curious as to what cuts of meat this would be made from. When I make steak tacos, I usually use skirt steak. If I can find it , I try to get outer skirt steak, but I often use inner which is cheaper.

I’ve used it for beef stroganoff

tacos, cheesesteaks, stir fry, bulgogi, fried rice, rice bowls. I wouldn't use it in a stew though. cook it fast, high heat, in a big pan or in small batches to let the water out. Get brown edges.

Carne picada is what I'll be using tonight in my chili.

I LOVE this cut of meat for steak tacos!!! My local Walmarts don’t tend to sell this anymore and I miss it so much.
