Party Carne Asada Recipes

CARNE ASADA

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 TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, coriander, cumin, pepper, and chili powder.
• Place the steak in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of the marinade and set the rest aside. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the steak in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
• In a small saucepan, bring the reserved ½ cup (120 ml) of marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat a large grill pan over high heat until very hot. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook the steak on 1 side until there are dark grill marks and it is beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes for medium rare, or 7 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas in a pan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until softened and just beginning to brown in spots, about 1 minute per side. Wrap the toasted tortillas in foil to keep warm.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then cut the slices in half. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the reduced marinade to coat.
• Serve the steak with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
• Enjoy!

CARNE ASADA FRIES

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, Cajun seasoning, and lime juice in a glass or ceramic bowl; add steak. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, up to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until firm and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Deep-fry the French fries in the hot oil until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, working in batches and adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Mash avocados with guacamole seasoning in a bowl. Set aside.
• Place the fries on a microwave-safe plate and layer with cooked carne asada and Mexican cheese. Heat in the microwave for 20 seconds. Add guacamole, sour cream, and finish it with green onions.

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.
