Ingredients
- One 1 1/2-pound flank steak, pounded thin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 Idaho potatoes, diced
- 1 small jar jalapenos
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 can whole chopped tomatoes
- Flour tortillas, for serving
Directions
Preheat the broiler.
Sprinkle the steak with the oregano, salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Broil the steak until well done, about 6 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and let cool before slicing. Slice or shred the steak into thin pieces and set aside.
In a large pot, combine the chicken stock, potatoes, jalapenos, onions and tomatoes, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and add the shredded steak. Simmer the mixture for 2 hours until thickened.
Serve the Manchaca with warm flour tortillas to wrap.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!! The flank steak broiled (before even adding it to anything was an incredible stand-alone! So tender & flavorful!! The broth itself was DIVINE -- ended up having the leftover broth & vegetables (I pureered them together after they had cooked for a while as soup for lunch the next day. But put the two together, and it is HEAVEN!! The quote of the night was, "I could eat this every day and be a very happy man!" Thank you, Cheech! Can't wait to make it again!!
