Nothing down this way Deb. I worked up in Windsor and there was a store up there. I found they some pretty good prices.

Arnie, that chuck looks awesome. I love the color on the finished product. One of the reasons it may have been a bit dry is because that cut of beef really needs moist heat to break down the connective tissue. Like braising or stewing. But irregardless. It looks great.

I agree braising would be a better way to go. As I said, it's not going to replace brisket. :D It did come out tender and got moistened up a bit with the peppers, onions, salsa, avocado and sour cream.

I really like skirt or flank steak for the recipe. But, it seems that once it was "discovered" the prices have gone through the roof. :-X

Don't you love the way that works. Some restruant gets famous on fajitas and now skirt steak is $7.99/lb or worse. We get flanks @ sams when they are on special for $5.99/lb

What's the phrase ?

"whatever the market will bear"

I was about a week early :-X This week my favorite local market has skirt stead for 3.99 and chuck roast for 2.49. What's worse is they have pork butt for 0.99. It's gonna be a busy weekend :D
