Carne Asada Steak

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 1 1/2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak

  • 2 tablespoons Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Juice of 2 limes

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 orange worths of juice AND/OR 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

    • Try both versions or combine ^. Orange juice brings more sweetness, while the soy sauce provides a more savory/salty taste.

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white vinegar)

For the Garnish:

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions

  • 1/2 cup sliced radishes

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • Lime wedges

  • Salsa or Pico de Gallo

  • Avocado slices or guacamole (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mix together Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex Seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, soy sauce, and vinegar. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

  2. Preheat a grill to high heat or a skillet to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

  3. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended for carne asada). Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  4. While the steak is resting, prepare the garnish: shred the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, thinly slice the red onions and radishes, and chop additional fresh cilantro.

  5. Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Arrange the steak slices on a serving platter. Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, radishes, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, salsa or Pico de Gallo, and avocado slices or guacamole if desired.

  6. Serve the carne asada steak with your favorite sides or as part of a larger meal. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex seasoning!
