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.

EASY CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Get your flap steak at a mercado (Mexican Market) or Carniceria (Mexican Butcher) if one is available.
• It will also be sold as Carne Asada Ranchera.
• If this isn't available, you may also purchase skirt steak at your local grocery store, but it's not quite the same.
• The flap steak has the texture and fat content to come out'just right'.
• Mix your marinade together in a bowl large enough to hold all plus the meat.
• Place the meat in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Grill the meat on high heat on your grill, until it is brown on both sides.
• Cook to a temperature you prefer.
• For most this is well done, I happen to like it so it is stil juicy.
• Serve with flour or corn tortillas, and the sides you like, such as cheese, onions, hot sauce, etc.
• I recommend fresh flour tortillas (probably at the same mercado you got the meat at), and by fresh, I mean made that day.
• Regular tortillas are ok, but fresh is better.
• If you have a Chevy's or Don Pablos or other restaurant that makes their tortillas fresh for their customers, go buy some.
• It's usually about$2 per dozen, and well worth it.

CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Break up achiote rojo into a powder, or as best you can as it is a little moist.
• Mix remaining ingredients except meat into the achiote rojo. Mix well to break up any large pieces of the achiote.
• Place meat in a container or your choice to marinade in and pour the achiote rojo mixture on and work it into the meat.
• Cover and marinade for as long as possible. Time DOES NOT indicate marinade time.
• Get the grill going, pop a beer and get busy. Remember, the wood charcoal is very hot. I get it so my hand can stand the heat test for 2-3 seconds. Closer to 2 seconds, though.
• Put the meat on the grill. Let the meat get good and charred then turn over. Grill for a few minutes and the meat is almost done. At this point make a foil sack to put the meat in . Push the coals away from one side of the grill, put meat in foil sack so that all the meat is covered. Then just put the meat sack on the side where no coals are. They will finish cooking in their own juices.
• When done let the meat rest a few minutes. Cut on a bias and roll 'em up in tortillas and salsa of choice.
