Carne Asada II

By , About.com Guide

Carne Asada is a traditional Mexican dish that has some similarities to tacos and fajitas. Dish up the finely sliced meat with your favorite toppings and a tortilla, and you'll have a delicious meal.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds top round or boneless chuck steak, 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
  • 1/4 cups red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons steak sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon savory
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 12 Flour Tortillas
  • 2 medium onions, sliced very thin
  • 4 ounces whole green chilies cut into strips
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole

Preparation:

Combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, sage, savory, salt, dry mustard and paprika in a small bowl to make marinade. Blend well. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow baking dish. Cover with marinade. Make sure that the meat is well coated. Let sit for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat grill. Remove meat from marinade and pour marinade into a small bowl. Add steak sauce to marinade and mix well. Place steak on grill over medium heat. Watch carefully to avoid flare-ups. Grill steak until it reaches desired doneness. Brush with marinade while grilling. Heat tortillas by wrapping them in foil and placing on grill. Let warm for 5 to 10 minutes, turning once. When the steak is done, remove from grill and cut across the grain into thin strips. Serve with tortillas, onions, chilies, salsa and guacamole.
