Normally this would be done with flank or flap steak. We didn't have any, but we did have some other steaks kicking around in the freezer, so I just used those instead. The marinade is absolutely delicious! I want to put it on everything.

Carne Asada

Slightly adapted from Damn Delicious

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/3 c. olive oil
• 1/4 c. light soy sauce
• juice of 1 orange (~1/3 c.)
• juice of 1 lime (~1/4 c.)
• 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
• 1 tsp. cumin seeds, ground
• 1 tsp. black peppercorns, ground
• 650g steak (preferably flank steak)

Directions

1. Combine cilantro, oil, soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and pepper and mix well.
2. Scoop out 1/2 c. of marinade and set it aside.
3. Add steak to remaining marinade and marinate for at least four hours, turning occasionally.
4. Preheat grill and cook steak to desired done-ness. (I like medium for this.)
5. Slice thin and pour over reserved marinade.
6. Serve with sliced radishes, crumbled feta, sour cream, avocado, salsa, or other toppings of your choice. Or just have it with the marinade. It's delicious!
