Instructions

1
Gather all ingredients.

2
Sprinkle salt over steak to cover both sides. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 1 day.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time, on each side until puffy and golden brown, about 1 minute. Set aside on a plate and cover with paper towels.

Sear steak in the same skillet, adding oil as needed; turn over frequently until browned, about 8 minutes per side. For medium-rare, steaks will be firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare.

Crispy Deep Fried Bacon
Battered and fried bacon that is even better after cooking in the oven for 7 minutes. My husband and I saw the idea of fried bacon on the travel channel where they just battered and fried it and we decided to make it. It was so good. But then we cooked in the oven and it was even better. Serve with white gravy and it is a heart attack waiting to happen but tastes so good!
Czech Cabbage Dish
I can only attempt to spell the real name of this dish; Cabushka or something like that! My mother's father was from Czechoslovakia, and he has three sisters who are excellent cooks. I have learned to cook this dish quite happily. At our last reunion, there were three separate bowls with different versions of this same dish; they were all scraped clean!
