Cooking Beef Strips
Beef strips are normally made from the most tender muscles and are usually only around 1 cm thick meaning that they will cook quickly. In terms of cooking methods, beef strips are perfect for stir frying so you can try using them in a recipe like this Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry.
Pinto Beans vs Black Beans
Whether you should use pinto beans or black beans in this recipe very much depends on your tastes. The two varieties have a difference in appearance with black beans having a smaller oval shape whereas pinto beans tend to be larger and have more of a speckled caramel color.
In terms of flavor, black beans have more of a dense rich taste and a crunchier texture and taste great in salads like this Black Beans and Rice Mango Salad. Pinto beans, on the other hand, have a lighter, creamier flavor meaning that they can go in soups like this Southwest Pinto Beans and Rice Soup.
What is Monterey Jack Cheese?
Monterey Jack is an American semi-hard cheese known for its mild flavor and subtle sweetness. Although Monterey Jack can be enjoyed by itself, it also tastes great when used in recipes like this one, or this Spicy Rice, Bean and Cheese Skillet. Monterrey Jack also goes well with some Mexican rice seasoning.
