Deliver the Flavors of Mexican to Your Dinning with Easy and Delicious Carne Asada

Carne Asada translated directly to English means roasted beef but as a matter of fact it’s grilled beef. This dish is actually thinly sliced grilled beef which is often served in tacos or burritos. Although almost any cut of beef can be butter flied into thin sheets for the Carne Asada, typically you make it with either flank steak or skirt steak.

Flank steak is a lean cut and needs to be cooked rare and thinly cut across the grain to make it tender. You can make Carne Asada without a marinade and just a bit of salt and pepper before grilling, but if you have the time, a good soak in a marinade greatly enhances the flavor.

Grilled Carne Asada tastes better and looks more beautiful than it has a right to, if you judge a meal by the amount of effort it takes. And it’s a sensory pleasure before it even touches the grill. As you squeeze fresh orange, lime and lemon juices for the Carne Asada marinade, then whisk in cilantro, garlic and jalapeno, the aroma that floats up to your nose is nothing short of heavenly.

Recipe of Carne Asada

•  Whisk the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, cilantro, orange juice, vinegar, sugar, pepper, cumin, onion, garlic and seeded Chile pepper in a large Ziploc bag until well combined.
•  Then add skirt steak to Ziploc bag with marinade and allow marinading overnight preferably or at least 8 hours.
•   When ready to grill, liberally season with salt and pepper.
•   Grill covered until golden brown (cooked to medium rare (145 degree F) doneness), perfectly charred and tender. 
•  To determine doneness, insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally into the side of the steak. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the steak and do not let it touch bone, fat or the grill.
• Allow to rest before slicing on a cutting board.
• Serve with salsas, tortillas and garnishes of your choice and enjoy!
