Carne Asada Street Tacos

These street tacos are simple and savory. No reason to hide under a ton of toppings. They go well with refried beans and Mexican rice.

If you want pans that heat evenly and clean easily, this is the newer Ninja set I recommend.

Time

Directions

  1. Mix marinade ingredients in a container just big enough to hold the meat.
  2. Submerge meat in marinade for 6 to 8 hours, stirring if necessary so that all meat has been in the marinade.
  3. Heat a grill pan or iron skillet to medium heat.
  4. Wipe off excess marinade and add steak to the pan. Cook 3 to 5 minutes per side or until internal temperature is 130°F. This is a rare temperature, but the steak will get chewy if it is cooked any longer.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes. Cut steak across the grain on the bias.
  6. These are street tacos, so fill sparingly with meat and toppings.
