Carne Asada Marinade Recipe
















I saw this SUPER CHEAP cut of Meat at a new market that I hadnt seen before called "Flap Meat"...It looks like Skirt Steak which I LOVE but its a 1/4 of the price!  I bought a few and decided to try....  Its a pretty thin cut of meat so I didnt think it'd be too tender but it was GREAT!!  I cooked them on my George Foreman for about 3 min (no need to flip it cooks both sides at once) to get a medium rare.  I paired it with this marinade and it was a HIT!!

Carne Asada Marinade Recipe
1 Lime, juiced ( I used reg. lime juice)
1 Lemon, juiced
1 Orange, juiced OR 1/2 cup OJ ( I used OJ)
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1-1/2 Tbsp Dried Oregano
2 Tbsp Ground Cumin
1-1/2 tsp Crushed Coriander Seeds (I left this out because I didnt have it)
5 or more garlic cloves, Coarsely chopped (this is 'to taste'- I used 5)
1/2 Cup LOW SODIUM Soy Sauce (USE 1/4 cup if its reg. soy)
2 or more sliced jalepeno chili's (I left this out)
1 medium sliced onion

Combine all ingredients in a zip lock bag, close and mix well.  Add the meat and marinate up to 24 hours, turning and kneeding often.  Grill to liking.
Serve with tortillas, rice and beans.

Enjoy!! Dani :)
