Steak Enchiladas by Willy


About once a week or so Willy likes to cook a flat iron steak. It is really a cheaper cut of steak but if you can get one with a little fat (excuse Willy) I mean marbling then it cooks up real nice. It has a thin end that can easily be cooked to medium to well and leave the other end cooked like it should be - medium rare. Many times Willy has some of this left over and is always looking for ways to use the steak. Well here is another. Try it out! 10-4 Willy
STEAK ENCHILADAS
