Carne Asada (grilled Steak) Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag, pour the marinade over it, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

2. 2

   Prepare the Grill

   Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals get white-hot.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

4. 4

   Add Bacon

   In the last few minutes of grilling, place the applewood smoked bacon on the grill until crispy.

5. 5

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

6. 6

   Serve

   Slice the steak against the grain. Serve topped with crispy bacon, crumbled Danish blue cheese, pico de gallo, and drizzle with ancho chipotle sauce.
