Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

    Aprox 2 Flank Steaks 1ish lbs each
    1 Lime Juiced
    2 Tbsp minced Garlic
    1-2 Tbsp Fresh Cilanto chopped (Depending on your taste)
    1 Tsp Cumin
    1/2 Tsp Chili Powder
    1 dash Cayenne pepper
    1 Tbsp Meat Tendoriser
    1/2 Tsp Salt
    1 Tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions

Thaw meat if needed. Put both peices of steak in a large ziplock baggie. Squeeze fresh lime into bag. Add all seasonings into bag and 2 tbsp water so seasoning can coat all sides of meat. Close bag and let set in fridge at least 8 hours or overnight. The longger meat sits the taistier the meat.

Take meat out of baggie and cut fat from steaks(you can also cut it off before marinading but i find it easier to get to after the tendoriser has softend the meat from the fat) Grill the meat on whatever grill you have handy. I used my GerogeForman. Cook to temp of your taste. Slice the meat against the grain into small strips.

I served with pico de gio cheese, and avacado on fajita size wheat torttillas. 1 Serving = 1 taco

    HOLY MOLY this carne asada recipe is AWESOME!! We used an outside skirt steak instead of flank. It was marinated in this recipe for 26 hrs. After grilling it on a gas grill over medium heat to a medium-rare doneness, it was incredibly tender. Very flavorful. One of the benefits of my husband's job i - 3/29/11
