ESPRESSO CHILI MARINATED STEAK TOSTADAS

Steps:

• Smash the garlic cloves on a cutting board, sprinkle with the salt and with the side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Scrape into an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Stir in the espresso, chili powder, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the steak and coat evenly in the mixture. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• For the tortillas: Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with about 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium to 375 degrees F. Add the tortillas, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, 30 to 45 seconds per side. Use tongs to transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to high.
• Push a skewer through one side and out the other of the intact onion rings (they onions should lay flat on the grill). Brush lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Grill the steak, flipping once, about 5 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut the steak into 3-inch sections, and then thinly slice each piece against the grain into strips.
• Mound some steak onto each crisp tortilla and then top with avocado, jalapeno and grilled onions. Drizzle with some of the crema and sprinkle with cilantro leaves if using. Serve with lime wedges.

• Rub 1 tablespoon of the spice rub on each side of the chuck roast. Set remaining spice rub aside for later.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place seasoned roast in the hot oil and brown for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Cook onions in the same skillet, stirring frequently, until they begin to turn clear, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in beef stock, 1/2 cup chopped tomato, orange juice, lime juice, and remaining spice rub.
• Return the roast back to the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer gently until meat is tender and cooked through, about 2 hours. Remove meat from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board.
• Carefully pour the skillet contents into a blender or food processor. Pulse several times, until sauce is smooth.
• Remove the visible fat from the meat and discard. Shred the meat with two forks. Place shredded beef back into the skillet with about 3/4 cup of the pureed tomato sauce. Add more, if desired, to adjust the consistency. Refrigerate any unused tomato sauce in a sealed container for another use, if desired.
• To assemble tostadas, spread about 1/3 cup refried beans on each tostada shell. Top with layers of shredded beef mixture, lettuce, Cheddar cheese, and reserved chopped tomatoes. Drizzle with salsa and add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
