A Mexican culinary tradition, Carne Asada is easy to add to your repertoire of fast, fresh and healthy weeknight favorites. Simply marinate in the morning for a tender, full-flavored evening meal, or quickly marinate while you make the pico de gallo. Traditionally cooked to well done, we suggest medium/medium rare for juicy, tender results. Slice the steak across the grain into thin strips, perfect for folding into a warm corn tortilla. Serve topped with spicy pico de gallo and cool sliced avocado.
TIP: If you choose not to use beer in the marinade, substitute twelve ounces of a Lime Cilantro Marinade for the beer and the lemon and lime juice.
