Carne Asada is often made with skirt steak, but we like to use sirloin flap meat (aka bavette steak). Like skirt or flank steak, flap meat has a coarse grain that takes well to marinade. Even without a marinade, flap meat is extremely tender with a bold, beefy flavor.

INGREDIENTS
  • MARINADE:
  • Juice from 2 fresh oranges
  • Juice from 3 limes
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 6 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 Tbsp New Mexican Chile Powder
  • 1 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground Mexican oregano
  • 2 Tbsp honey

DIRECTIONS

  • Combine all ingredients and marinate the meat overnight.
1

Grill steaks over high heat to medium rare. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing across the grain.
2

Garnish with cilantro, radishes, pickled vegetables, and lime wedges.
3

Serve with tortillas, pico de gallo, and guacamole or sliced avocado.
