THE BEST CARNE ASADA I HAVE EVER HAD

Steps:

• I wash the meat and dry it carefully, then in a bowl combine all ingredients. Mix carefully with your hands to make sure all of the meat is thoroughly coated.
• Refrigerate the meat all night or at least for 4 hours to get the best flavor. Then grill the meat on a medium low grill.
• I always put the cilantro and onion slices on top of the meat while it is grilling to give it extra flavor and then serve the onions and cilantros with the meat.
• I always enjoy a fresh margarita or two while they are cooking and while I am eating! You can also squirt a little lime juice on the meat while it is cooking.

CARNE ASADA

Steps:

• Lay the skirt steak in a large nonreactive bowl or baking dish.
• Combine the oil, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, red wine vinegar, cumin, sugar and 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the steak, making it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper, and place it on the grill. (If cooking indoors, remove excess marinade, as the garlic may burn and smoke).
• Grill the steak for just a few minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it is cooked to your preference. You may need to work in batches.
• Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak thinly against the grain on a diagonal and serve.
