Serious Chingón Carne Asada Recipes

EASY CARNE ASADA RECIPE (OVEN, STOVETOP & GRILL INSTRUCTIONS)

Steps:

• Combine and stir together all marinade ingredients. Transfer meat into a large plastic bag or container and pour marinade over the top. Marinate for at least 4 hours, up to about 24, flipping the meat once halfway through.

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!

TENDER CARNE ASADA RECIPE

Steps:

• Seasonings: In a 9x13 pan or large dish, add the soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, oil, sugar, cumin, onion powder, and chili powder. Use hand whisk to incorporate well. Set aside.
• Coat: Using paper towels, dab off all excess moisture from beef. Use fork to poke holes throughout beef. Place beef in the pan with marinade. Evenly coat beef on all sides, ensuring every bit of beef is well coated (if you have two steaks, ensure even coating on both.) Cover with cling wrap. Chill 3-9 hours.
• Tenderize: During the last 30 minutes of marinade time, evenly press mashed kiwi onto all sides of beef, making sure every part of the beef has a bit of kiwi on it. Cover and chill no more than 30 minutes max.
• Cook: grease the grill; heat on high until smoking hot. Grill steak just until both sides are nicely charred and browned, and interior is medium rare. Cook time will vary, depending on thickness of steaks. Usually, once the exterior is nicely charred, skirt/flank steaks should be done, as they are thinner cuts.
• Rest: Transfer steak to cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, without slicing. Then, slice very thinly against the grain (perpendicular to the grain) and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

SERIOUS CHINGóN CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• To reconstitute the dried chiles, tut off the stems, then use a small, sharp knife to make a vertical incision down each chile. Open it up and discard the seeds. Heat a medium skillet, sauté pan or comal over high heat, add the chiles and toast them for about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer the chiles to a medium bowl, pour 2 cups of boiling water over them and let them soak for twenty minutes.
• Make the marinade: Reserving 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid, drain the chiles and transfer them to the bowl of a blender or food processor along with the onion, garlic, cilantro, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, cumin, coriander, 2 teaspoons of the salt and the olive oil. Blend or process until very smooth.
• Place the skirt steaks in a large zipper bag, along with half of the marinade. (Set aside the rest of the marinade, as you'll use it to make a salsa.) Remove as much of the air from the bag as you can, and put it in the fridge to marinate for at least two hours and up to 24 hours.
• To make the salsa, heat a small, dry skillet or sauté pan over high heat, add the jalapeños or serrano chile and toast on both sides until lightly charred. Remove the stem or stems, chop roughly and place in the jar of a blender or bowl of a food processor, along with the diced tomato, the reserved marinade and 1 teaspoon salt. Blitz until smooth, then transfer to a pan, heat over medium heat and let cook for about 10 minutes, so the flavors mellow and meld. (Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender: Place all the ingredients in the pan and blitz.) Remove from heat and set aside until you're ready to serve.
• Prepare an outdoor charcoal grill. (Or alternatively, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on your stove). Wipe off most of the marinade from the steaks. Lightly season them with salt, then grill them to desired doneness. The goal is to get a nice char while maintaining a nice medium-rare center. This generally takes about 5 minutes per side, but more or less time may be required depending on the heat of your grill or pan and the thickness of the steaks. (Grill the scallions, if using, at the same time, until the bulbs are tender.) Remove from heat, let the steaks rest 10 minutes, then slice them against the grain and serve with the room-temperature salsa. If you're serving with scallions, squeeze the half-lime over them before serving.
