Carne Asada Recipe


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients and mix well. Place the steak in a large ziplock baggie. Pour in the marinade and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours (but it's tastier if you double that time).
  2. Remove steak from refrigerator 15- 20 minutes before grilling so that it comes up to room temperature (Straight from the fridge to grill will cause the steak to stick to the grill). 
  3. Grill on high heat for 5 -6 minutes on each side. Remove and let stand 5 minutes. 
  4. Warm tortillas over the hot grill or on the stove top. Chop steak. Take a tortilla, add steak, cubed avocado, chopped cilantro leaves, onion slices and enjoy!
