Recipe Carne Asada

[kaneohegirlinaz]

There are as many recipes for this dish as there are cooks out there.
Living in Arizona, I can easily buy the ready-to-cook stuff just about anywhere, but I prefer to make my own, my way.

Carne Asada

Ingredients:

Marinade:

1 Tbsp. Cilantro
2 Tbsp. Lime Juice
2-3 Tbsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 C. Orange Juice
2 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. dried Oregano
2 Tbsp. freshly toasted & ground Cumin
1 1/2 Tbsp. freshly toasted & ground Coriander Seeds
1/8 tsp. Chipotle Powder
5 cloves of Garlic, course chopped
1/4 C. Soy Sauce
1/2 of a Jalapeno Pepper or to preference, course chopped
1 medium Onion, thinly sliced

2 lbs. Steak, either Flank, Skirt, Hanger will do (or this does work nicely with Chicken too)

Method:

Blend everything for the marinade in a food processor, blender or use an immersion blender until fairly smooth.
Slice the Steak on the bias and of course against the grain, into about 1 inch think pieces.
Add everything into a large zip-top bag or a non-metallic container and cover.
Massage the marinade into the meat slightly and store in the refrigerator for 36-72 hours (4 hours is the minimum just for the flavor, but the meat will not be tender).
You can also freeze everything after 48 hours for a later use (Chicken at 24 hours).

Grill/ Broil/BBQ to your desired doneness.
Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve as desired.

This works nicely as a Taco or Burrito filling, on a Salad or just on it's own.

*Cooks Note: Using freshly squeezed juices is nicer, but use what you have.

This looks terrific. It's the type of food I start thinking about when the weather gets nicer, but for some reason I never think about this time of year. Thank you for putting this idea in my head...it's starting to feel like spring already!

The Late Night Gourmet I grill/BBQ even in the snow!

We got two feet with this storm.

Looks fantastic. There is something to be said about doing it yourself. You can find some good ones out in the wild but choosing the meat yourself and using fresh ingredients always yields the best results IMO. Thanks for the pics!
