Carne Asada Ingredients

Method

Carne Asada Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the flat iron steak with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Make Creamed Corn

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine corn kernels and heavy cream. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until thickened. Add diced jalapenos to taste.

  4. 4

    Prepare Tomatillo Escabeche

    In a bowl, mix chopped tomatillos, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to combine flavors.

  5. 5

    Make Guajillo Steak Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix guajillo chili powder with a little water to create a paste. Adjust seasoning with salt and additional lime juice if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve with creamed corn, tomatillo escabeche, and guajillo steak sauce drizzled on top.
