carne asada

<em>Your carne asada can be ultra tender, with a secret ingredient that works for almost any cut of beef you want to grill. We're sharing our tips on how to make supremely flavorful, tender, juicy carne asada right at home. </em>

Tender Carne Asada Recipe

2-3 lbs skirt or flank steak, roughly trimmed

regular strength soy sauce (or Tamari, for gluten-free*)

garlic,

TB lime juice

TB olive or canola oil

TB sugar

tsp cumin

onion powder

tsp ancho chili powder

kiwi fruits,

Optional toppings: Pico De Gallo, sliced avocado, lime wedges, chopped cilantro

In a 9&#215;13 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.

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.

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.

Oil the grill and 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.

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.

HELP!!!!!  Okay that was bit dramatic!  I'm definitely making this for the 4th of July cookout.  I have the MOST difficult time being confident that I know I'm cutting against the grain.  In your picture of the cooked steak - w/parsley? on top on the cutting board with the knife resting next to the steak - would you slice starting from a narrow end or the long side?  Thank you SO much for any help you can give me on this.  I'm definitely grain-challenged.  :)  I love your site and your recipes are ALWAYS delicious.

We couldn’t call this Beef Barbacoa a Chipotle copycat, because it’s way better. Once you make this tender, delicious Instant Pot Beef Barbacoa at home, you’ll see what we mean. Bonus: Leftovers are ridiculously yummy.

Instant Pot Beef Barbacoa

Carne Asada Street Tacos. Soft corn tortillas filled with juicy, tender, grilled Carne Asada. Topped with diced onion, cilantro and crumbled queso fresco. Skip the taco shop and make these at home!

Carne Asada Street Tacos

1½ -3 lbs flank steak

orange juice

lime juice

cilantro (diced)

garlic

salt

garlic powder

tbsp cumin

paprika

tsp black pepper

chopped carne asada (from above)

white corn tortillas

onion

queso fresco (crumbled)

Prepare Carne Asada Marinade

Mix together the ingredients for the carne asada marinade.

Marinate Meat

Coat the flank steak with the marinade, top with sliced oranges and onion. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to overnight.

Grill

Remove the oranges, onion, and excess marinade. Grill the meat to desired temperature: Rare: 115℉ -120℉ Medium Rare: 120℉ – 125℉ Medium: 130℉-135℉ Well Done: 140℉ – 145℉.

Chop

Remove the meat from the grill. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Chop meat into small 1/4 inch cubes.

Assemble

Layer the corn tortillas and fill with chopped meat. Top with diced onion and cilantro and crumbled queso fresco.

We can all agree on a few things here: Great carne asada should taste, first, of the beef. It should be buttery, rich, and juicy, with a charred, smoky flavor. It should be tender enough to fill a taco or burrito, but substantial enough to be served as a steak. And the marinade should have a good balance of flavors, with no single ingredient overwhelming any other. This recipe produces the carne asada of my childhood dreams.

The Best Carne Asada Recipe

ancho chilies, stems and seeds removed (see note)

guajillo chilies, stems and seeds removed (see note)

whole chipotle peppers, canned in adobo

juice

olive oil

soy sauce

Asian fish sauce,

cilantro, leaves

whole cumin seed, toasted and ground

coriander

dark brown sugar

Kosher salt

skirt steak (2 to 3 whole skirt steaks),

corn lime

Place dried ancho and guajillo chilies on a microwave-safe plate and microwave until pliable and toasty-smelling, 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the jar of a blender and add chipotle peppers, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, cilantro, cumin seed, coriander seed, and brown sugar. Blend until a smooth sauce has formed, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt. Transfer half of the salsa to a large bowl and the other half to a sealed container. Set aside the sealed container in the refrigerator.

Add an extra 2 teaspoons of salt to the salsa in the bowl. It should taste slightly saltier than is comfortable to taste. Add 1 piece of steak to bowl and turn to coat. Transfer to a gallon-sized zipper-lock bag with the top folded over to prevent excess sauce and meat juices from contaminating the seal. Repeat with remaining steak, adding it all to the same bag. Pour any excess marinade over the steak. Squeeze all air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

When ready to cook, remove the extra salsa from the fridge to allow it to warm up a little. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.

Remove steak from marinade and wipe off excess. Place directly over the hot side of the grill. If using a gas grill, cover; if using a charcoal grill, leave exposed. Cook, turning occasionally, until steak is well charred on outside and center registers 110°F on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve immediately, passing extra salsa, lime wedges, avocado, onions, cilantro, and tortillas on the side.

limes, (juiced)

chipotle chile powder

jalapeno

garlic cloves, minced

scallion, (chopped)

black pepper, (to taste)

Trim the meat of excess fat and slice or &quot;butterfly&quot; the meat into a sheet about 3/8-inch thick (see NOTES below).

Place the meat between two sheets of plastic wrap and carefully pound it with a meat-tenderizer mallet or rolling pin to a 1/4-inch thickness.

Coat the meat with lime juice and brush it lightly with oil. Sprinkle chile powder, jalapeno, garlic, scallion and black pepper evenly on both sides of the meat.  Allow to marinate at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat your grill to medium. Sprinkle the salt on all sides of the meat, and grill alongside the green onions until the beef is just cooked through and the onions are beginning to brown.  Remove the meat from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

A delicious Carne Asada recipe made from marinated flank or skirt steak and cooked on the grill. Juicy, tender and a great addition to any Mexican meal!

Carne Asada Recipe

jalapeño, (seeded and minced)

garlic, (minced (about 2 teaspoons))

juice of 1 orange ((about 1/4 cup of juice))

juice of 1 lime ((about 2 tablespoons of juice))

white wine vinegar

chili powder

coarse salt, (plus more for grilling)

cumin

oregano

ancho chili powder

black pepper, (plus more for grilling)

flank steak

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the steak.&nbsp;

Place the steak in a large baking dish or gallon size ziplock bag and pour the marinade on top. Turn the steak a few times until it&#x27;s completely coated with the marinade and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Do not marinate for longer than 8 hours because the meat will start to break down and get mushy. 

Remove steak from marinade and discard any excess marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towels and drizzle with a touch of olive oil, enough to coat each side. Season lightly with coarse salt and black pepper on both sides.

Preheat grill for direct heat grilling at medium-high heat (400-450°F). Grill steaks with the lid closed for 4-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Skirt steak will be closer to 4 minutes per side and flank steak will be closer to 6-8 minutes per side.

Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes.&nbsp;Slice thinly against the grain and serve with mexican rice, refried beans and avocado salad.

After the steak has been marinating, remove it from the fridge and let it rest for 30 minutes before cooking.

Meanwhile make the avocado salsa. Combine avocado, tomato, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Stir and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix the masa flour and ½ cup (120 ml) of water together with your hands. Once combined, add the rest of the water and knead until the dough forms a smooth ball.

Heat a large pan or griddle over medium-high heat.

Fry the dough, turning frequently, until just lightly brown about 5 minutes.

Once the dough is cooked, shape the sopes by pinching the sides up to form a wall around the edge. Set aside to cool.

Rip the stems off the dried chiles and discard the seeds. Rinse the chiles, if necessary.

Add the chiles to a small pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from the heat.

Transfer the chiles and their cooking liquid to a blender and add 1 teaspoon of salt and the garlic. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Add the tomatoes to a small pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the tomato skins split, then remove from the heat and drain, reserving ½ cup (120 ml) of the tomato water.

Transfer the tomatoes to a blender with the reserved cooking liquid, oregano, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Heat a large pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the skirt steak and season with the meat seasoning and remaining teaspoon of salt. Cook the meat, flipping frequently until seared and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board and cut into small pieces. Set aside.
