soy sauce (low-sodium is fine)

lemon juice (bottled is fine)

olive oil

lime juice (bottled is fine)

garlic (pressed

chili powder

cumin

paprika

oregano

black pepper

chipotle chili pepper OR 1 teaspoon finely chopped, canned chipotle pepper (optional)

cilantro

frozen fries

shredded cheese

pico de gallo

sour cream

guacamole

cilantro (optional for topping)

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 Marinade

Adjust top rack of your oven to about 4 inches below the broiler. Heat broiler on high. Place meat on a foil-lined heavy-duty baking sheet or broiling pan and broil 4 to 6 minutes per side. Pull at 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. 

Allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain into strips or chunks. Tent with foil to keep warm while your fries cook.

While your meat rests, bake fries according to package instructions, until just done.

Set oven temperature to 350°F. If desired, pile cooked fries into a cast iron skillet or assemble fries on the baking sheet.

Top cooked fries with chopped carne asada and cheese. Return fries to the oven until cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro and add sliced jalapenos if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Fries

Carne asada fries are a local San Diego specialty. But this homemade version with baked french fries and grilled carne asada is just as delicious.

Carne Asada Fries (Best Ever!)

recipe carne asada

potatoes

tbsp avocado oil

garlic powder

salt and pepper

cheddar cheese (grated)

tbsp guacamole

Make the carne asada as per the those recipe instructions. Marinate the meat ahead of time, but you can grill it while your baking the fries.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit.

To make the fries, slice each russet potato in half, then half again. Slice each quarter into strips, then slice the strips into equally sized fries.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and add the fries. You may need two baking trays to keep the fries on a single layer. Add the olive oil and spices and toss to coat.

Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes and use a spatula to flip the fries halfway through.

To serve, place the fries on a plate, sprinkle with cheddar cheese and add the carne asada. Top with a dollop of guacamole and sour cream.

CARNE ASADA | carne asada fries + carne asada tacos

Carne Asada Fries are made with crispy baked french fries smothered with tender grilled carne asada and delicious toppings like pico de gallo, melted cheese, sour cream, and guacamole.

recipe carne asada (See the ingredients and instructions below)

(2-pound) bag frozen French fries

salt and black pepper (to season)

Colby Jack cheese (shredded)

jalapeño (sliced)

pico de gallo (more if desired)

guacamole (more if desired)

sour cream (more if desired)

orange juice

soy sauce

lime juice

vinegar

garlic (minced)

Mexican oregano

salt

skirt steak or flank steak

Prepare the carne asada ahead of time according to recipe instructions. Note that carne asada requires between 1-4 hours to marinate and takes approximately 20 or so minutes to grill.

Next, bake the frozen fries according to the package directions until they are golden and crispy. Remove the fries from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Line a large baking sheet (or the same one that was used for baking the fries) with parchment paper. Arrange the fries on top of the parchment paper and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. Add the diced carne asada to the top of the fries in an even layer. Then sprinkle the cheese and sliced jalapeño over the top of the carne asada.

Transfer to the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Top with fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and salsa, and serve with sliced limes and minced cilantro, if desired.

How to Make Carne Asada Fries

Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl (orange juice, soy sauce, cilantro, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and chili powder), then transfer the marinade and steak to a large Ziplock bag. Seal tightly and marinate for 1-4 hours or up to 12 hours.

To cook, heat a large cast iron grill pan over high heat. Once hot, coat the pan with oil and add the steak. Cook for 6-10 minutes per side or until it is cooked to your desired doneness. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
