616 Carne Asada Tacos

dinner, mexican

ingredients

  • 2 lb flank or skirt steak
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalepeno minced
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • Serve with cojita or queso fresco and pico (or instead of pico: mediterranean salad wink wink)

instructions

  1. Combine marinade ingredients in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, then reserve half of the marinade in a separate container for serving later.
  2. Add the steak to the bag and squish around to coat. Marinate for at least four hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade.
  3. Heat a heavy large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes per side (or until done).
  4. To serve, cut meat against the grain. Then pour remaining marinade over the top of the steak.
  5. Serve with whatever other shit you want!
