Carne Asada

Pin It

This Carne Asada turned out really good. 

I think the marinade was a perfect blend of ingredients and 

gave the steak great depth of flavor.

 

You need to let it rest just a few minutes before you slice it, 

and remember to slice it against the grain.

Really tasty wrapped in shells with a little

salsa fresca and Guacamole Taquero.

You can get the recipe and read more about the Guacamole here.

Carne Asada

2 lbs flank steak

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 jalapeno, chopped (remove seeds if desired)

2 tbsp chopped parsley

Juice of 2 limes

Juice of 1 orange

2 tbsp white vinegar

1 tsp sugar

2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp adobo (or cumin)

½ cup olive oil

1 cup beer

Fresh cracked pepper

Lay out steak in a baking dish. Whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over steak. Marinate at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.

Remove steak from marinade and cook on a preheated grill, 7-10 minutes per side for medium rare, or until desired doneness.

Let rest for a couple minutes, then thinly slice at an angle, opposite direction of grain.
