1:05
flax steak but i like chocolate but i
1:07
don't think that'll go together you know
1:09
what i'm think's proved you wrong baby
1:11
bring it bring it so you're dicing that
1:14
pineapple for our salsa that we're gonna
1:16
go along beside it because we're gonna
1:18
marinate this in chili powder and cumin
1:21
so we need just a little something sweet
1:23
to go along with it and that sweet
1:26
pineapple salsa is gonna be very good
1:28
with it i'm gonna spray our griddle just
1:30
a little bit
1:32
and uh we're gonna get this marinade
1:34
made up for our flank steak y'all and if
1:37
you'll stop chopping just for a second
1:39
and hold my bag for me i'll hold you
1:41
back okay you used to be the bag lady
1:43
come home i used to be the bag lady i'm
1:45
still the bag lady kind of i'm going to
1:47
start with four tablespoons of wine
1:49
vinegar
1:51
and we're gonna add two tablespoons
1:54
of olive oil you can use a vegetable oil
1:57
is fine
1:59
and then i'm gonna use two tablespoons
2:02
of brown sugar
2:04
[Music]
2:06
plop flop
2:09
and then to the chocolate and i'm using
2:12
just an unsweetened cocoa powder
2:16
so two tablespoons of that must have
2:19
been heaping spoons
2:21
well it was kind of heaping
2:24
and then two teaspoons of chili powder
2:30
and one tablespoon of cumin
2:34
a little bit of salt
2:37
a little bit of cracked black pepper
2:40
can we close the bag well i'll squish it
2:42
before you hold it and i'll squish
2:46
how's that
2:47
all right so we're gonna use about a two
2:49
pound flank steak stand
2:52
and we're just gonna put him down in
2:54
there
2:55
and let's just press the air out of it
2:57
and seal it up and we're gonna let him
2:59
marinate
3:01
for an hour or two or you know if you
3:03
want the flavor stronger we can even let
3:06
it marinate overnight
3:09
let's put this marinated steak on the
3:11
grill while we finish our salsa
3:14
[Music]
3:19
look at that
3:22
there she goes
3:26
i like that it's gonna be good isn't it
3:28
yeah that's gonna be really good and
3:30
y'all our salsa is gonna give us about
3:32
two cups of fresh pineapple and then
3:35
we're gonna add an avocado about a
3:37
fourth of a cup of chopped onion about a
3:40
tablespoon of fresh lime juice and a
3:43
handful of cilantro all right now look
3:45
at here stan i'm going to show you how
3:46
to cut this avocado you just go around
3:49
like that and you know there's a big
3:51
seed in there
3:53
we're just going to take our knife and
3:54
pop him like that and pop him right on
3:56

3:59
tricks around here all right now look

4:07
just like that
4:11
and then in he goes how simple is that
4:14
that's great
4:14
[Music]
4:20
let's squeeze a tablespoon of fresh lime
4:23
juice onto our avocado and i'm just
4:26
gonna toss that
4:28
avocado around in that lime
4:32
and that's gonna keep it from turning
4:33
dark on us
4:35

4:38
a mexican south of the border with the
4:40
tomatoes the garlic and the onions well
4:43
this is gonna be a sweet salsa that's
4:46

13:24
of a cup of water okay we'll bring it
13:26
back to a bowl and then we're going to
13:28
add the sugar and bring it back to a
13:30
boil so we're gonna boil it three times
13:33
before we put the chocolate chunks in
13:34
okay while we're letting this boil we
13:36
could go ahead and sift the flour now
13:38
what kind of flour is this that is
13:40
pastry flour this doesn't have any
13:42
gluten in it and it needs to be sifted
13:44

13:46
i want you to add eighth of a teaspoon
13:49
of baking powder
13:50
okay
13:52
now you can sift it all together
13:55
that's really boiling we're going to put
13:56
the water in now and that's quarter of a
13:57
cup
13:58
and we want to bring it back to another
14:00
boil okay what else do i need over here
14:02

24.
19:31
