Cooking Tip from LA COCINA GOYA

How to Cut Meat Against the Grain: Some types of red meat, like flank and skirt steaks (used in the fajita recipe above) have distinctive lines running through them. These lines are muscle fibers and can make the meat tough to chew if not cut correctly. For the most tender slices, cut against the grain, meaning that you slice perpendicularly across the lines, not with them. Doing so breaks the tension of the fibers, making the meat extra tender.
