Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 pounds skirt, flank or tri-tip steak
  2. 1 teaspoon salt
  3. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  5. Pureed Tomato Salsa Cruda, recipe follows
  6. Shredded white cabbage, for garnish
  7. Scallions, for garnish
  8. Thinly sliced radishes, for garnish
  9. Avocado slices, for garnish
  10. 4 Italian Roma tomatoes, cored and cut into quarters
  11. 1 to 2 Serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded if desired and sliced
  12. Juice of 1 lime
  13. 1 teaspoon salt
  14. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Combine in a mixing bowl with the oil, salt and pepper. Toss well to coat. Heat the grill or heat a dry cast iron skillet until smoking. Sear the meat until light pink in the center, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips and reserve in a bowl with the juices. For carne asada tacos, toast 24 small Corn Tortillas and keep warm. For each taco, stack two tortillas and layer with carne asada strips. Top with a tablespoon of Pureed Tomato Salsa Cruda. Garnish with shredded white cabbage, scallions, thinly sliced radishes and avocado slices.
  2. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.

Super simple. It’s about the technique. Use a flavorful value cut like skirt, flank, or flat iron. This last one is the best. Easy to cook in a flash with limited ingredients. Like on vacation. Big flavor, inexpensive, and fast!

This Marinade is awesome. I didn’t have the morter thing to grind it so I just put it all in the food processor and it turned out awesome.
