Recado Rojo Lion’s Mane Steaks
For the marinade:
3 tbsp achiote paste
3/4 cup sour orange juice (naranja agria)
1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt
For the plate:
Lion’s mane mushroom steaks, sliced 1–1.5 inches thick
Achiote white rice
Frijoles negros
Curtido de cebolla (red onion quick-pickled in sour orange + habanero)
Fresh cilantro, radishes, avocado
Recipe
1. Toast dry spices in a skillet until fragrant, about 60 seconds.
2. Blend all marinade ingredients until smooth.
3. Press lion’s mane steaks lightly to open the texture, coat thoroughly in marinade.
4. Let sit 30–60 minutes — no longer or they’ll get waterlogged.
5. Sear in a screaming hot cast iron, pressing down for full contact. Let the achiote crust develop.
6. Serve over rice with beans, top with curtido.
7. Enjoy with friends
The curtido is non-negotiable.
