I also think about how we've gotten to enjoy some downright summery meals, mixed in with a plethora of soups and chilis, of course. Because when you stumble upon some perfectly sliced carne asada, how can you say no to grilled steak tacos?
With good meat, very little seasoning is needed. Here, a sprinkle of cumin, paprika, and salt are all you need to bring out the flavors. And the thin cut means it needs to barely kiss heat before browning up nicely.

My mom's house was freezing also. I had to take three scalding showers over less than 36 hours!
