Carne asada

Carne asada is mexican grilled meat. This marinade has typical Mexican flavours, and a solid citrus taste.

Ingredients

• 50 ml soy sauce
• 50 ml fish sauce
• juice from 3 limes
• juice from 1 orange
• 50 ml corn oil
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chili flakes
• 50 ml chopped coriander
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 kg flank steak

Instructions

• Mix together all of the ingredients (except the meat) to make the marinade.
• Trim and remove silver skin and such from the meat.
• Marinade the meat for 12+ hours before cooking, grill or fry. It depends on the size of the cut, but generally 3-4 mins per side.
• If making tacos, I recommend to cut the meat into 1-2 cm slices before marinating. After cooked, slice into cubes. This leads to a more well-done product, but with more marinade flavour. It’s also more practical to eat in a taco.
