Steak Asada

Sides

Method

Steak Asada

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak to the bowl, ensuring it is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Charbroil the Steak

    Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Cheese Enchiladas

  1. 3

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Lightly fry each corn tortilla for about 10-15 seconds on each side until pliable. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, fill it with shredded cheese, roll it up, and place it seam side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 5

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare the Rajas

    Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until charred. Place them in a plastic bag for 10 minutes to steam. Peel off the skins, remove seeds, and slice into strips. Sauté the strips with sliced onion in a skillet until soft.

  2. 7

    Make the Guacamole

    In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
