Chile Cheese Steak with Avocado




James Carrier
 1 pound fat-trimmed skirt steak
 1 teaspoon olive oil
 1/4 cup tequila
 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
 1 can (7 oz.) whole green chilies, drained
 1/4 pound jack cheese, thinly sliced

Set an 11- to 12-inch frying pan with ovenproof handle over high heat; when pan is hot, add oil and tilt to coat pan bottom. Add steak and cook, turning pieces once, until browned on both sides but still rare in the center (cut to test), 6 to 7 minutes total. Remove from heat and add tequila and vinegar to pan. Light with a match (not under an exhaust fan or any flammable materials) and shake pan until flames subside.
