Pot Roast Carne Asada Style Recipes

INSTANT POT CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Slice the steak across the grain and into thin strips.
• Peel the onion and cut it in half lengthwise. Thinly slice half of the onion. Chop the other half and set it aside for the pico de gallo.
• In a nonreactive bowl or the Instant Pot inner pot, combine the steak strips, sliced onion, and the lime and lemon juice. Add the chili powder, honey, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and beef stock. If using, add the red pepper flakes (start with 1/2 teaspoon). Mix well and let stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
• While the beef marinates, combine in a medium-sized bowl the reserved onion with the tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Add the juice from the 2 limes. Toss to combine.
• Add kosher salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate the pico de gallo until serving time.
• Put the marinated beef and marinade in the Instant Pot. Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure the steam release valve is turned to the sealing position. Choose manual or pressure cook, then high pressure, and set the time for 6 minutes.
• When the time is up, allow for the natural release of pressure for 15 minutes.
• Carefully turn the steam release valve to the venting position to release the remaining pressure.
• Drain the beef. Reserve the juices for a soup base or freeze to use later.
• Assemble the tacos with corn or flour tortillas, beef, and pico de gallo. If using, serve with cheese on top, avocado, and lime wedges.

DELICIOUS CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Place beef in a large resealable plastic bag.
• Combine water, orange slices, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, lime slices, cilantro, oil, salt, garlic, white pepper, black pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and cloves in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour marinade on top of the beef and seal the bag.
• Marinate beef in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill beef over direct heat until firm and slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.

POT ROAST CARNE ASADA STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef evenly with half the salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add in the beef, and brown on all sides.
• Remove the meat from the pan, add in the onion, jalapeno, and cumin; cook/stir until the onion and pepper are softened, about 3 minutes.
• Return the meat to the pan and add the salsa and broth; bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Cover, reduce the heat to med-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat falls apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
• Remove the meat from the pan and cover loosely with foil.
• Taste the sauce for salt and pepper and add more if necessary.
• Shred the beef, removing any fat, and serve with the sauce on the side.
• **Do-ahead--at this point, you can combine the beef and sauce, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days; it actually tastes better when cooked in advance.
• You can also freeze it in its sauce for up to 1 month.
