Carne Asada

Fire Roasted Salsa

Garnish

Method

Marinate the Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, ensuring the meat is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Fire Roasted Salsa

  1. 3

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat your grill or broiler. Place the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño on the grill until charred and smoky, turning occasionally. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 4

    Blend the Salsa

    Remove the roasted vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly. Chop them coarsely and transfer them to a blender. Add chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until desired consistency is reached.

Cook the Carne Asada

  1. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serve

  1. 7

    Slice and Garnish

    Thinly slice the carne asada against the grain. Serve with the fire roasted salsa, chopped onions, and chopped cilantro on the side.
