Charbroiled Steak Asada

Method

Charbroiled Steak Asada

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Cheese Enchilada

  1. 3

    Prepare the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a skillet, sauté the diced onion in a little olive oil until translucent. In a separate plate, dip each corn tortilla in the enchilada sauce to soften them.

  2. 4

    Fill and Roll

    Place a portion of the sautéed onion and shredded cheese in each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

  3. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with any leftover cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Crema

  1. 6

    Prepare the Crema

    In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, lime juice, and salt until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

Rajas

  1. 7

    Sauté the Rajas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced poblano peppers and onion, sautéing until the peppers are tender and slightly charred, about 7-10 minutes. Season with salt and stir to combine.

Guacamole

  1. 8

    Make the Guacamole

    In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add diced tomato, finely chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix until combined but still chunky. Adjust lime and salt to taste.
