Carne Asada
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (can substitute with white vinegar)
- 1/3 cup lime juice (can substitute with lemon juice)
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons peeled fresh garlic - crushed
- 1 tablespoons white pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 orange, sliced
- 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped (no stems)
- 2 lbs Skirt Steak
- small bundle of green onions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Place skirt steak in gallon sized freezer bag or in the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Pour carne asada marinade on top of beef, cover dish or close bag, and marinate beef for at least 1 hour before grilling.
- Put the steak slices on a very hot grill and sear them quickly, time depends on how thin the slices are.
- Grill the green onions at the same time, to be cut up and put in the tortilla with the carne asada.
- I like to take the grilled steak and chop it into very small pieces (like Tacos Al Carbon) and sort of stir-fry it for a few seconds in the remaining marinade.
- Heat corn tortillas any way you like. I like to fry them in olive oil for a minute, so that they're still soft but the corn flavor is brought out. Sppon the carne asada and some green onion onto the tortillas and enjoy!
