What Does It Mean When They Ring the Bell at Trader Joe’s? This traditional Mexican carne asada marinade recipe will marinade 5 or 6 pounds of meat and can be easily halved or doubled. I’ve tried many carne asada recipes through the years, and this one outshines them all. The flavors are the most flavorful and authentic and the meat is pull-apart tender. I suggest marinating overnight for the best results. Recipe submitted by Bruce Herder, Washington State.
First off I just want to mention that this recipe was sent in to me by Bruce Herder from Washington State. Having been born in 1955 and raised in Southern California, there was no end to authentic Mexican food. I soon realized that if I wanted awesomely tasty tacos, as I was used to, I was going to have to make them myself. Thus began the journey and many, many experiments. I think I finally got it.
I can’t emphasize enough, the importance of the meat. Americanized’ taco garnishment, the whole deal is in the flavor of the meat. In other words, it’s all about the meat. I’ve tried many types of meat, and, as others have beat me over the head with, the best meat to use is Skirt steak. It is hands down, the best to use.
Now, that being said, you can also use flank steak. Flank has the same flavor and tenderness, but isn’t quite as marbleized as Skirt. Plus you have to slice it up somewhat, first. Flank steak is a close 2nd, but use Skirt if you can get it. State, Skirt steak can be hard to find, and certainly isn’t cheap. I have no idea what this cut of meat is, and to be fair, I have tried it on three different occasions. It always turned out like shoe leather.
Enough to fully cover the meat in a freezer bag. DIRECTIONS: Put marinade in a large freezer bag, along with the meat and get enough air out of the bag so the meat is completely in the marinade. Now, so far as time, I’ve sometimes only marinated the meat for a few hours. Mostly though, I like to let it sit in the refrigerator for two days. I’ve read that the citric acids break down the meat, and it does seem to be more tender the longer you let it sit. There is nothing more than white onion and cilantro.
The only way to go on this is BBQ. Sear the meat on both sides and turn over regularly. Skirt steak is sliced pretty thin, so it doesn’t take long to cook. Usually, you’ll want to cook till about medium done. Re-heating the meat, after it’s all chopped, in the microwave cooks it just a tad more. After all, who wants tacos with cold meat?
There are many ways to heat up tortillas and everyone has their favorite. But for what it’s worth, this is how I do mine. Tear off two paper towels and fold. Wring enough water out of them so they’re wet, but not dripping wet. They’ll come out hot, moist and very flexible. I use two tortillas per taco, so you’re getting two tacos out of this.
Rockin Robin, I made your rice again last night and my wife still can’t get over how good it is! There is a picture of it at the top. I’m a native southern Californian and we moved to Nevada. There is one place in town close to the Mexican food we we’re used to, but mostly everyone else is so so.
