Carne Asada & Rice
Carne Asada & Rice
Carne asada is a delicious Mexican dish consisting of grilled, marinated beef. It’s typically seasoned with a variety of flavorful spices like garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
Ingredients
For the Carne Asada:
- 1.5 pounds flank steak
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Rice:
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup onions diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt to taste
- fresh cilantro for garnish, chopped
Instructions
For the Carne Asada:
- In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring that the steak is coated well. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, but for best results, marinate overnight.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove the flank steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Grill the steak for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the steak and your preferred level of doneness.
- Once cooked, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips. This will help keep the meat tender.
For the Rice:
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove any excess starch.
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it with the onion and garlic mixture.
- Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Stir briefly.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit, covered, for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
