Carne Asada Tacos
Ingredients
· 2 lb skirt steak, excess fat trimmed, pre-marinated
· White onion, whole
· Cilantro, whole bunch
· Lime
· Corn tortillas
· Salt & pepper, to taste
· Carne asada marinade
· 2 tbsp garlic
· 2 tbsp Mexican oregano
· Juice of 2 limes
· 4 tbsp olive oil
Steps
- Combine garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and Mexican oregano to make the Carne Asada Marinade. Marinate the steak in the fridge overnight, 12 hours minimum.
- Preheat the grill to high or preheat the broiler.
- Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Put the steak on the grill or under the broiler, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes, then slice thinly. For a more tender bite, I recommend cutting the steak against the grain.
- Warm tortillas on the comal, tuck tortillas into a kitchen towel lined plate as they’re ready to keep them warm.
- Chop onions, cilantro, and serrano. Mix together in a bowl with fresh lime juice.
- Slice steak and serve.
