Girl, your son is not going to want to come home having sent him off with recipes this good! I just made the skirt steak and the dry rub is fantastic! It’s so much better and easier than other rubs and marinades I’ve used. And cooking it in butter wasn’t such a sin since I used a very lean sirloin. Thank you Patti!

Folks, I need some help identifying a show. I just stumbled down the stairs on a Sunday morning, turned on the tube, and saw Pati and her son eating a thin steak, potato with bacon and asparagus. It looked so good, I wanted to start cooking immediately! But then the show ended without any recap. Can anybody help identify these recipes?

Hi Ed, thanks for reaching out! The show you watched was Pati’s Mexican Table Season 5, Episode 512: Alan goes to college. You can fin all the recipes from that episode in this link https://patijinich.com/video/episode-512-alan-goes-to-college/ 🙂

The dry rub works really well for taste. I substituted smoked paprika for the sweet paprika out of necessity. Be sure to peel as much of the film off of the steak as you can to allow the seasoning to penetrate the meat.

What can use use in place of the cumin in the dry rub?

Hey Doug, you can try with a bit of powdered coriander seeds, or just leave it out. Enjoy!

On the ingredients, when you say oregano, you mean Mexican oregano, right? Or, is regular oregano alright to use? Also, can I use smoked paprika instead of sweet paprika? Love your show and recipes. Keep them coming. Thanks.

You can use any oregano you have, Lazaro. You can use smoked paprika…it will have a different taste but also good!

Hola Pati, felicidades por tu programa, es la primera vez que lo veo y me encanto.
El show fue en el Valle de Guadalupe, me encantaria visitar los viñedos. En que lugar se puede comer esa gran costilla que presentaste en el programa? Gracias.

Hi Pati, I love watching all your shows! Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes! The directions say to marinate the skirt steak for up to 2 hours. Can I marinate the meat for longer (say overnight)?
Pati
Jul 02
Sure! Just make sure to marinate it in the fridge then.

How long does it cook and at what temp?
Pati
Sep 19
I cook it over high heat. I like mine medium, so I sear it for about 4 minutes on one side and 2-3 minutes on the other side. But if you like it more rare or more well-done you can cook for shorter or longer…

Hi Patti, I loved this episode with your son Alan cooking with you. I could tell it was a bittersweet moment at the end thinking of how much you’ll miss him moving away for college. I remember the same feeling with my daughter! I cried a lot for two weeks sfter we dropped her off! It got better. Love your recipes and so far tried the green beans-great!!
Pati

Cooke this last night at our fire pit party in Bussleton Western Australia and it was fabulous, I love your show on SBS Pati and even if they’re repeats I get very upset if it’s not on – I just heard about the quake at Chiapas and Oaxaca – feel very:sad and hope people are holding up OK – very very dad. Did you hear that even in D.F. the golden angle was swaying!!!!

Hola Pati!
I watched this episode with my youngest son (11 years old) last night. I asked him if he wants to cook this meal with me and we would do it together; he said of course! He has shown an interest in cooking, so I am excited to do this with him!
I love Mexican cuisine and you make it look so easy to prepare and you have such enthusiasm! Love your show!!

Just watched this episode. Your son Alan is so cute. What a great kid. You must be very proud of him. But I can’t believe you’re old enough to have a son going to college!!!
