This carne asada tacos formula is made with grass-took care of meat from New Zealand. The skirt steak is marinated in lime juice, flavors and garlic. It’s grilled over a super high heat, resulting in flavorful, earthy and delicious carne asada. Serve it with tortillas, avocado, salsas and cotija for a delicious dinner. NEW ZEALAND 100% GRASS-FED BEEFLast October, I took a 10-hour long red-eye flight all the way to New Zealand. I had never been and it wasn’t even really on my bucket list of places to visit. Boy, was I unaware of how amazingly beautiful and special it truly is. I spent a full week visiting various sheep and beef farms all throughout the countryside. Loved it! I learned so much about how sheep and beef are raised sustainably, thoughtfully and grass-fed year-round on open pastures. The result is lean grass-fed lamb and beef that’s finely textured, super delicious and pure and natural. WHAT IS CARNE ASADACarne Asada is a Mexican dish that is comprised of skirt, flank or holder steak marinated and afterward barbecued over high warmth. It can be served all on its own OR be cut up and added to various dishes as an ingredient. I personally prefer to flame broil it up and serve it with warm tortillas and salsas. WHAT CUTS OF BEEF SHOULD BE USEDYou can use flank steak OR skirt steak. Flank steak is a touch more lean so it's best when you cook it medium-uncommon. Skirt steak, in any case, has a touch more tolerance because of its higher fat substance and marbling. I find that medium to medium-rare is a great temperature. HOW TO MARINATE CARNE ASADASome of the marinades vary but I kinda like going a more classic route with lime juice, vinegar, salt and spices. I've seen a ton of renditions with squeezed orange and here and there even soy sauce. All versions are delicious! This marinade couldn’t be easier because you simply whisk together all of the ingredients in a gallon plastic bag OR casserole dish and then add the meat. Super simple. I like to marinate mine for the time being on the grounds that it truly softens the meat and grants the kind of the marinade into it. HOW TO COOK CARNE ASADA TACOSI like to preheat my flame broil for around 10 minutes. You really want the grates to be hot. Grease the grates with a bit of neutral oil. And then add the meat to the grates. Cook on each side for around 2 to 3 minutes, for medium-uncommon. If you want it medium, I would go a bit longer, about 4-5 minutes per side. Let it rest for 10 minutes. This really holds in the juices. Then slice the meat against the grain. Serve it with warm tortillas, onions, cilantro, cotija and various salsas. TIPS AND TRICKSI’m usually not a stickler about marinating but this recipe really deserves the overnight marinade. It imparts the perfect amount of tartness that is just SO good.
If you want to add a touch of sweetness, you can add the juice from half an orange. You can chop up any meat that is leftover and add it to enchiladas, eggs…so many possibilities!
