Carne Asada

Here is our interpretation of a Mexican favorite. The thinly sliced flavorful beef is traditionally served with rice and beans or as a filling for tacos.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak

Marinade:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small jalapeno, minced

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

juice of 1 lime

2 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finley chopped

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon coarse black pepper

pinch of red pepper flakes

Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Place steak in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.
In a small bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients. Pour over steak, cover tightly with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 4 – 8 hours.
Remove from marinade. Discard marinade. Place steak on a preheated oiled grill and cook about 3 minutes per side or until medium-rare. Do not overcook or the steak will become tough.
Let rest for 5 minutes and then slice thinly across the grain.
