Directions
Carne Asada Grilled Steak, Carne asada, or grilled meat, is great backyard grill food. It is enjoyed throughout Central America and Mexico. Many recipes get very elaborate with the marinade ingredients, but the original recipe relies on a simple combination of onions and citrus juice to highlight the flavor of the beef. The ingredient measurements are pretty vague, but it lets you make it according to your own taste. Personally, I would use the maximum amounts of everything. Enjoy!, I marinated the steak for 6 hours and grilled a few minutes more. Used a medium sized sweet onion, the orange juice and a good quality garlic infused olive oil. Sliced the steak on the thicker side and served with potatoes and mushrooms. Made and reviewed for Susie’s World Tour., Flank steak is very difficult to get here so used what I had – a T-bone. Yeah, I know… poor me. ; I marinated it for about 7 hours and the flavour was all there but not overpowering. I couldn’t bring myself to discard the marinade so while the steak was resting I cooked the onions and the marinade and had them alongside. Thanks for the delicious meal! Made for CQ4
