Carne Asada ???
Follow @drmattcooks for more recipes!
Making carne asada is one of my favorite ways to transform a cheap cut of beef into something bursting with flavorful! I serve it here on a tostada with pico de gallo (recipe in my previous video). Traditionally skirt or flank steak is used. Be sure to cook it quickly just to medium rare (125-130F) to keep it tender. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1/2 lb flank or skirt steak
-toppings of your choice
-tortillas, tostadas, or rice to serve with it
-lime and cilantro for garnish
Marinade:
-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
-1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
-1/4 cup neutral oil
-1/4 cup soy sauce
-3 tbs apple cider vinegar
-2 tbs brown sugar
-1 tsp ground cumin
-1 tsp dried oregano
-1 tsp paprika
-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
-juice of 1 lime
-juice of 1 orange
Instructions:
-add all of the marinade ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well
-add the meat directly to the bowl and cover with a lid; alternatively, add the meat and marinade into a gallon bag and seal it tightly
-allow the meat to marinade in the fridge for at least two hours but preferably overnight
-when ready to cook, remove the meat from the fridge and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes
-heat a cast iron skillet or grill to high heat
-sear the meat for 3-4 minutes on one side and 2-3 minutes on the other side until internal temperature is 125-130F
-remove the meat from the heat and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting into small pieces
-use the meat to create tacos, tostadas, rice bowls, etc.
-add toppings and garnish with fresh lime juice and cilantro
-enjoy!
