carne asada

By harvard88

Ingredients

• 1/4 1/4 3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 3 limes)
• 2 2 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 4 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 2 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 1 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1 1 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 teaspoons Himalayan sea salt
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 1 1 1 pound (500g) skirt or flank steak

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk all of the ingredients together in a large shallow bowl or plastic container. Coat 3 ounces of the meat with 2 teaspoons of marinade and cover with plastic wrap (or lid if using container).

2. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

3. Heat barbecue (or grill) on high heat. Note that lean flank steak is best cooked rare, while skirt steak can be cooked well without losing moisture or flavor. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, and discard excess marinade. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.

4. Transfer to a plate and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. To serve, slice against the grain into thin strips.
