Carne Asada Dry Rub Mix Recipes

TEXAS CARNE ASADA SEASONING RECIPE (DRY RUB)

Steps:

• Combine all of the measured spices into a mason jar or a plastic bag and shake well. This seasoning blend can be used on beef hours before you sear the meat (for more flavor), or during the searing as an excellent substitute for salt or bottled carne asada or fajita seasoning. If you prefer to make this a wet recipe, add the juice of 2 limes and marinate for several hours. Cook as usual.

CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Place the skirt steak in a large glass bowl or resealable plastic bag.
• To make the marinade, add the cilantro, olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, honey, oregano, garlic and serrano chile to a blender. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Blend for 35 to 40 seconds to combine.
• Pour the marinade all over the steak, moving it around to make sure everything is covered. Cover or seal and transfer to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but no more than 6 (too long in the marinade will cause the steak to begin breaking down).
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• When ready, remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and grill about 4 minutes per side for medium.
• Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the lime wedges.

When roasted, grind them in a spice mill, blender or food processor until powder like. Next, combine all the ingredients in a container of your choice and mix completely. Presto, spice mix is done. The mix can be stored in an airtight container up to four months.
