Carne Asada Tacos
Directions
- 1Coloque los filetes en una bolsa ziplock de 1 galón.
- 2Para la marinada use un bowl grande y mezcle el jugo de limón, el jugo de naranja, salsa soya, cilantro, sal, cebolla, ajo, comino, jalapeño, oregano, aceite vegetal y la cerveza.
- 3Vierta la marinada sobre la carne y cierre la bolsa tratando de sacar la mayor cantidad de aire posible.
- 4Masajee la carne con la marinada una vez dentro de la bolsa.
- 5Deje marinando dentro del refrigerador durante 1 a 2 horas.
- 6Encienda la parrilla media hora antes.
- 7Si es una parrilla a gas, ajuste el fuego a medio alto.
- 8For a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are gray ash and still quite hot.
- 9También puede hacerse a la plancha en una sartén.
- 10Remove the steak from the fridge and scrape off any large pieces of the marinade.
- 11Once the grill is ready, place the meat on the hottest part and sear until dark marks start to appear underneath.
- 12Flip and sear until dark marks appear on the other side.
- 13This should take 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- 14Once both sides of the meat have a good sear, move it to a cooler part of the grill and flip every minute until you reach your desired doneness.
- 15The amount of time depends on the thickness of the steak, so I recommend using an instant read thermometer.
- 16Chop the meat into small pieces.
- 17Warm the corn tortillas on the grill.
- 18Assemble the tacos with the meat, cilantro, onion, salsa and a squeeze of lime.

Tips
- For a gas grill, set it to medium-high. For a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are gray ash and still quite hot.
- A skillet on the stovetop can also be used in place of a grill.
- I prefer medium (145F [65C]) for steak tacos.
