  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 4 pickled jalapeño peppers finely chopped with 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
  • 1/2 cup cubed Monterey jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Inner leaves from 1 small head of romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded romaine
  • 1 firm but ripe avocado pitted peeled and sliced

Directions
  1. Put the flank steak, thickly sliced onion, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves in a large pot or saucepan and add water to cover.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat so that only a few bubbles occasionally rise to the surface.
  3. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface and add the oregano and sea salt.
  4. Let simmer for 45 minutes.
  5. In a fry pan over medium heat warm the olive oil.
  6. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté 4 minutes.
  7. Stir in the lime juice, chilies and pickling liquid and simmer for 2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside.
  9. When beef is tender remove pan from heat.
  10. Let the beef cool in the broth then remove it from the broth.
  11. Measure out 1/2 cup of the broth and reserve.
  12. Refrigerate the remaining broth for another use.
  13. Trim off any excess fat from the beef then finely shred.
  14. Put it into a bowl with the 1/2 cup broth and let stand for 5 minutes.
  15. Add the onion mixture, cheese and cilantro.
  16. Season with sea salt and pepper then toss together with your hands or a fork until well mixed. Let rest for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  17. Make a bed of the whole romaine leaves on a platter.
  18. Mound the beef mixture on the lettuce and garnish with the avocado slices, shredded lettuce and finely chopped onion.
  19. Serve at room temperature.
