Make Carne Asada

Grilled Carne Asada


My kids love to order Carne Asada from a famous


local restaurant. They serve the steak medium over fresh hot corn tortillas. We asked the chef for his marinade recipe so we can make this at home during the week.


Instructions


1. Shop for all items on the grocery list. You can purchase


Skirt Steak from your local supermarket or Butcher. Sometimes if I can't find Skirt Steak, Flat Meat


is another good option. The package will look like there is a small piece of meat in it, but once you open it up, the meat will unfold into a large piece.


2. Place the meat in a glass Pyrex dish. Squeeze the juice of 4 limes and 4 lemons


over the meat into the glass dish.


3. Shake a small amount of garlic salt and garlic


powder on both sides of the meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.


4. Cut the onion into small thin strips. set aside








5. take a small brush and squeeze 2 tbsp. ketchup


over the top of the meat. Use a meat brush and brush


the ketchup over the meat. Make sure to do both sides


of the meat.


6. Let marinate over night if possible. If you don't have time for that,


try to let it sit at least 2 hours.


7. BBQ the meat on both sides over hot flames for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until there are char marks.
