Carne Asada

How to make Carne Asada Recipe - I absolutely love skirt steak; the long, fatty, fibrous strip of meat is tender and flavorful with nothing more than cooking over a fire. Skirt steak is commonly found in Mexican or Latin grocery stores. Don’t be shy give it a try!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
2 pounds skirt steak
2 tbsp All Purpose Grilling Rub

Citrus Marinade:
4 oranges
2 limes
1 cup sliced onions
1/2 cup cilantro
1 jalapeƱo pepper, sliced
2 serrano peppers, sliced
1 12 oz. beer
2 tbsp minced garlic

Citrus Marinade Method:
Slice the oranges and limes in half and squeeze juice into a bowl. Add onion, cilantro, jalapeƱos, serranos, beer, and garlic to the same bowl and mix well. Pour the marinade into a 1-gallon or bigger storage bag and add the skirt steak. Squeeze out all the air and seal the bag tightly. Marinate the steak overnight.

Carne Asada Method:
Prepare the grill for direct grilling.

Add red oak chunks to the charcoal. Mesquite wood is also a great substitute.

Temps between 500 and 600 degrees F are ideal.

Remove skirt steak from storage bag and pat it dry with paper towels.

Apply the dry rub to both sides.

Place skirt steak directly over the hot coals.

Cook 5 minutes per side. Watch it so it does not burn.

Grill until meat is well done. Remove steak from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
