Authentic Carne Asada
Authentic
Carne Asada is an easy dinner made by grilling beef after marinating with
citrus, soy and spices. A quick grill on high heat gives a burnt edge for a
rich, deep flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 jalapeno minced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 limes juiced
- 2 pounds flank or skirt steak
Instructions
First, in a
one-gallon resealable bag, combine lime juice, crushed garlic, orange juice,
cilantro, salt, pepper, olive oil, jalapeño pepper and vinegar. Press it to mix
it.
Then, put
all the flank steak in the resealable bag. Close it tightly. Make sure all the
meat is exposed to the marinade, crushing the bag to coat it.
Refrigerate at
least 2 hours or overnight.
Heat an
outdoor grill over high heat.
Remove the
flank steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Cook on the grill
for 7-10 minutes on each side.
When
finished, remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes. Slice against the grain
and serve. Happy Cooking Time.
