HOW TO PURCHASE AND STORE STEAK FOR CARNE ASADA
Can I substitute skirt steak for flank steak? If you want to substitute skirt steak for flank steak, it should only be cooked to rare or medium-rare otherwise it will be too tough and chewy to eat. Skirt steak comes from the diaphragm muscle of the cow which contains more tough muscle fibers than flank steak and is therefore tougher these fibers, however, also boat a more intense flavor. Flank steak and skirt steak come from two different parts of the cow which affects how tough they are. What is the difference between flank steak and skirt steak? Flank steak is a thicker, wider cut of meat than skirt steak. Flank steak is a little leaner than skirt steak but because we are using a marinade to maximize the flavor, it emerges wonderfully juicy and flavorful. I prefer flank steak with its wide, flat shape, rich buttery flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. What Type of Meat Should I use for Carne Asada?Ĭarne asada is traditionally made using skirt or flank steak. The steak is associated with a charred flavor from searing the meat on the grill. In Spanish, Carne literally means “flesh/meat/beef” and Asada means “roast/broiled/grilled,” so “grilled meat.” When it comes to “carne asada” in cooking, the term refers to grilled and sliced beef, usually skirt, flank or flap steak. What does Carne Asada mean? What is Carne Asada? And that is when “good” became Patrick’s approved “best” carne asada. So not only does the steak marinate in orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce and a splash of liquid smoke, it gets marinated with and then rubbed with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic and onion. Finally, I decided to not only marinate the steak but also rub the steak with spices right before grilling. Still, they lacked a certain “umph” of flavor – restaurant quality flavor. We didn’t mind the attempts as they were all tender, and charred and delicious. To please my carne asada critic, I perfected this recipe with 4 different attempts. Living in Carlsbad/San Diego, we have a plethora of Mexican restaurants and he is always on the hunt for the “best” carne asada. He devours carne asada burritos, California burritos (carne asado burritos with French fries, etc.), carne asada fries, carne asada nachos or carne asada street tacos at least once a week either after surfing or on our Friday night dates. I’ve created recipes for Tacos Al Pastor, Slow Cooker Carnitas, Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef, Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken, Baja Fish Tacos, Chicken Fajitas, Chicken Tortilla Soup and now this carne asada recipe because his heaven is eating Mexican food every. My husband, Patrick, is Mexican food connoisseur. But this is the “Best” Carne Asada recipe I have ever made or tried and I hope you will agree! 
We each have our own “best” – some may like spicier, some may like sweeter, some may like saltier. I always hesitate by putting “best” in the tile of a recipe because “Best” is such a personal preference. PIN THIS RECIPE TO SAVE FOR LATER Carne Asada Recipe
