- 1 lb skirt steak
- 4 dried porcini mushrooms
- 1⁄2 dried chili, seeded
- 1⁄2 teaspoon smoked sea salt
- 2 ears corn
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the grill pan
- 6 ounces frozen mushrooms (mixed) or 6 ounces fresh mushrooms, room temperature
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 8 taco shells
- 1⁄2 bunch cilantro or 1/4 head cabbage, for serving
directions
- In a spice grinder, combine dried porcini mushrooms, 1/2 the chilies and smoked salt; pulse until finely ground.
- Pound the meat to a thickness of 1/3 inch, then rub with ground spice mixture; set aside.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat.
- Cut kernels from cob (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat; add thawed or fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Season mushrooms with salt and pepper; reduce heat to low to keep warm.
- Lightly grease grill pan and grill meat 2 minutes on each side for medium rare (cook longer, if desired, but take care not to toughen meat).
- Transfer steak to cutting board to rest.
- Reduce heat under gill pan to medium and cook corn 1 or 2 minutes, stirring, so that corn browns but does not burn; transfer to a bowl.
- Turn off heat and warm taco shells on grill.
- Cut skirt steak, against the grain, into 1/2 inch strips.
- To assemble: place a bed of cilantro or cabbage in each taco shell; layer in steak, mushrooms, and corn.
- Serve with your favorite salsa.

<p>We may live without poetry, music and art;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We may live without conscience and live without heart;</p>
<p>We may live without friends; we may live without books,</p>
<p>But civilized man cannot live without cooks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving?</p>
<p>He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving?</p>
<p>He may live without love -- what is passion but pining?</p>
<p>But where is the man that can live without dining?</p>

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
