EASY CARNE ASADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare ingredients for the carne asada.
• Chop cilantro, green onions and place them in a ziplock bag or in a dish. To the greens add soy sauce.
• Add beef and squeeze lime juice and orange juice to the mix. Dont get rid of the skins, add them to the marinade. Leave meat to marinade for at least 4 hours.
• Grill beef until it's golden brown on both sides and external temperature reads 145 °F.
• Serve beef right away. It is delicious when wrapped in tortillas with avocado, tomatoes, salsa or other veggies.

Steps:

• Place the flank steak in a large baking dish and, if using the sliced onion, spread the slices over the meat.
• In a medium-sized bowl mix together the orange juice, lime juice, light beer, Kikkoman soy sauce, vegetable oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
• Pour the marinade over the meat; cover with a plastic film and refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Light up your charcoal grill, or preheat your gas grill. (You can also use a cast iron grill pan, the ones you use over the stove top). And brush your grill with a little vegetable oil as this will prevent the meat from sticking.
• Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Place meat on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side. (Cooking time will depend on the meat thickness and your personal preferences, either medium or well done). Remove meat from grill and place it on your cutting board. Slice it and serve it with corn tortillas and other garnishes mentioned above.
• If you would like to have the same effect as that of the Mexican-American restaurant, place the cooked meat on a preheated cast iron pan, add a few drops of Soy Sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!

CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• In a gallon sized freezer bag, combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT the flank or skirt steak.
• Add steak to the bag and seal. Knead the steak in the bag to coat well with the marinade. Place in the fridge for 6 -24 hours turning occasionally.
• Grilled on an oiled grilled over medium heat for 6-9 minutes per side until desired doneness (for medium rare - 145 degrees, for medium - 160 degrees, and well done 170 degrees) Keep in mind you want to pull it off the grill 5-10 degrees before desired doneness. The meat will cook a little more while it rests.
• Allow steak to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain. Serves 8.

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.
