Carne Asada

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is achieved. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chips and Toppings

    While the steak is resting, prepare your tortilla chips on a serving platter. Shred the grilled carne asada and place it over the chips.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the carne asada with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and drizzle with green sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the chips are crispy and the toppings are fresh.
