Carne Asada
Epic Latin American beef! Carne Asada marinade is made with garlic, coriander / cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, vinegar and olive oil which infuses the beef with flavour and tenderises. Use it to make Carne Asada Tacos, burritos or serve it with rice. Whatever way you serve it, you will be in grilled beef heaven!
Ingredients :
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 1/2 cup / 125 ml orange juice
- 1/4 cup / 65 ml lime juice
- 1 cup finely chopped coriander / cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup / 65 ml olive oil
- 1 jalapeno, finely minced
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
Directions :
- Place the Marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag and mix. Add beef and massage through the bag to coat evenly. Seal then marinate for 1- 8 hours (12 hours max, otherwise meat gets over marinated and can be mushy).
- Take the skirt steak out of the fridge 20 - 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
- Brush BBQ with oil and heat on high until smoking (or use a large skillet over high heat and turn the fan on!).
- Cook skirt steak for 3 minutes each side for rare, 4 minutes for medium rare. For flank, cook for 4 minutes each side for rare and 5 minutes for medium rare. Don't cook beyond medium - chewy beef!
- Remove onto a plate and cover loosely with foil. Rest for 5 minutes then slice thinly against the grain (Note 2).
- Serve with tacos, in burritos or on rice!
