Carne Asada

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Thousand Hills Flank Steaks

  • 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • ⅓ cup olive oil

  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium)

  • 1 large jalapeno, diced & mostly seeded

  • 1¼ tsp cumin, ground

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a medium sized bowl, combine cilantro, olive oil, soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and pepper; set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  2. In a large bowl, combine steak and remaining cilantro mixture; marinate for 6-24 hours, turning in the bowl occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade.

  3. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Using paper towels, pat both sides of the steak dry; season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Add steak to grill, and cook, flipping once, until desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 5 minutes.

  5. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with reserved cilantro mixture.
