The famous Latin American grilled beef! Marinated in a wicked Carne Asada marinade that infuses and tenderises the beef, this is beautiful made with any cut of beef suitable for quick grilling but is traditionally made with flank and skirt steak. Use for tacos, burritos or serve on rice, or try a salad! This recipe serves 5 - 6, because it's sliced thinly a bit goes a long way.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPlace the Marinade ingredients in a large ziplock bag and mix. Add beef and massage through the bag to coat evenly. Seal then marinate for 1- 8 hours (12 hours max, otherwise meat gets over marinated and can be mushy).
Take the skirt steak out of the fridge 20 - 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
Brush BBQ with oil and heat on high until smoking (or use a large skillet over high heat and turn the fan on!).
Cook skirt steak for 3 minutes each side for rare, 4 minutes for medium rare. For flank, cook for 4 minutes each side for rare and 5 minutes for medium rare. Don't cook beyond medium - chewy beef!
Remove onto a plate and cover loosely with foil. Rest for 5 minutes then slice thinly against the grain (Note 2).
Serve with tacos, in burritos or on rice!
