Carne Asada

Zutaten

2 pounds thinly sliced flank steak

2 limes, juiced

½ cup pineapple juice, or fresh orange juice

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 cup cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

½ cup olive oil

2 jalapeños, seeded and minced

1 tablespoon white vinegar

½ cup chopped white onion

1 teaspoon Mexican oregano

1 teaspoon cumin

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 tablespoon Maggi jugo, or soy sauce and a hearty splash of worcestershire sauce

Anweisungen

Place the flank steak in a glass dish (with a lid) or in a large ziplock bag.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine.

Pour over the meat and toss well to coat.

Cover the meat or seal the ziplock bag and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours, for best results. (Minimum marinade time is 2 hours and max marinade time is 6 hours.)

Remove the meat from the marinade and turn the grill to high heat.

Place meat on the hot grill and grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes. If you like your meat well done, grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side. (These cook times are for thinly cut flank steak, if you are using a thick cut flank steak, you will need to cook your steak for longer.)

Remove and wrap with foil to rest for 5 minutes before serving. (Don't skip this step!)

Slice the meat against the grain in strips and serve as desired in tacos, burritos, over rice and beans, etc.
