HOMEMADE SRIRACHA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the chiles and let cook 2 to 3 minutes, then drain and cool. Wearing clean kitchen gloves, cut off and discard the stems and set aside the chiles.
• Heat the oil in a skillet pan over medium-high heat, then fry the shallots until translucent. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let cool.
• Pour the tomato mixture into a blender and add the chiles, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and garlic and blend until smooth. Transfer to a clean jar or bottle and store in the fridge for up to 10 days.

SRIRACHA-HONEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine.
• This is amazing for hamburgers, chicken, fries, etc.
• Be careful giving this to kids under the age of 1 as they cannot eat honey.

SRIRACHA-PINEAPPLE MARINADE

Steps:

• Boil pineapple juice to reduce to 1/2 cup. Let cool and combine with other marinade ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup and pour remaining marinade into a zip-top bag. Add 1 1/2 pounds meat (for 4 people) and toss to coat. Refrigerate. Use reserved marinade to brush over meat and vegetables while grilling.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SRIRACHA SAUCE

Steps:

• Chop jalapeno and serrano peppers, retaining seeds and membranes, and place into a blender with garlic, brown sugar, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, pulsing several times to start.
• Transfer puree into a large glass container such as a large jar or pitcher. Cover container with plastic wrap and place into a cool dark location for 3 to 5 days, stirring once a day. The mixture will begin to bubble and ferment. Scrape down the sides during each stirring. Rewrap after every stirring and return to a cool, dark place until mixture is bubbly.
• Pour fermented mixture back into blender with vinegar; blend until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan, pushing as much of the pulp as possible through the strainer into the sauce. Discard remaining pulp, seeds, and skin left in strainer.
• Place saucepan on a burner and bring sauce to a boil, stirring often, until reduced to your desired thickness, 5 to 10 minutes. Skim foam if desired.
• Remove saucepan from heat and let sauce cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken a little when cooled. Transfer sauce to jars or bottles and refrigerate.

QUICK-MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH SRIRACHA POTATOES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in oven and preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread in a single layer on pre-heated baking sheet, and roast until golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through, about 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, chile paste, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add steaks, turning to coat them in the marinade, and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and let oil heat briefly. Working in batches if necessary, sear steaks until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove steaks from skillet and transfer to a cutting board or plate to rest, reserving skillet.
• Add broth and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce to skillet over medium-high heat, scraping bottom of skillet to deglaze the pan. Add spinach to the skillet and cover; cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha. Divide spinach among four plates and top with steak; serve potatoes alongside, drizzled with sriracha mayo and garnished with bonito flakes, if desired.

SRIRACHA CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the garlic, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt and pulse until finely minced. Add the citrus juices, Sriracha, tequila, and olive oil, pulsing until combined. Place the meat in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over, tossing lightly to coat the meat evenly. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat. Brush the grill lightly with oil. Cook the steaks until they reach medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Cover with foil and allow the meat to rest for several minutes. Once the meat has rested, slice the steaks against the grain into strips, or chop into a smaller dice.
• If your mouth really craves a beating, serve up a huge platter of these tacos topped with a bit of Sriracha Sour Cream (page 24) and wash them down with a tall, icecold Srirachelada (page 105).
