#1 Carne Asada Standard Recipe:

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1 large bunch fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Jake's Famous California Chicken Rub
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 2 orange, juiced
  • 2 limes juiced

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

To reduce the recipe cut all ingredients by half meaning 2 garlic cloves, 1/2 jalapeno minced, 1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro and so on.

Blend the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, salt, black pepper, California Chicken Rub and olive oil together to form a paste. Place in a jar that can be sealed. Add the line juice, white vinegar, and orange juice to the container. Mix thoroughly and let the ingredients rest for at least and hour. If you can let the ingredient mature overnight that is even better.

Once the Carne Asada Recipe Homemade ingredients have matured place meat in a container and coat with the marinade. Let the marinade rest on the meat overnight if possible for best results. When fully rested remove the meat and grill directly.

Carne Asada is one of those dishes that if you're familiar with you just can't wait for summer to approach so you can get your grill on.  If you're not familiar with the Carne Asada it's actually a flank steak, skirt steak or rib steak cut that is marinated in special juices allow to absorb the marinade then grilled and sliced into strips just right for tortillas and taco shells.  The name means "grilled meat" and the meat is wonderfully marinated and the flavors are fresh and vibrant and will be enjoyed for as long as the flank steak survives the audience that is made for.  And when it's gone you instantly want more of it and wonder when the next barbecue will come around.

I have friends that come more that 200 miles out to the Central Coast of California just to participate in one of our barbecues where Carne Asada is served.  I guess life is really slow in some of those small towns when you're biggest piece of excitement is tacos.  Well no matter we take the skirt steak and marinate that in our special recipe of orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, cilantro and more then grill that marinated steak over a medium hot fire with nice amounts of red oak wood.  Once grilled the steak is allowed to rest about 5 or more minutes.  In the meantime we take large size flour tortillas and place then on the grill with its residual heat.  The tortillas are just barely charred on the outside then flipped and charred slightly on that side.  Along with the skirt steak, and tortillas we add avocado, sliced cabbage red and green, a little Mexican Queso cheese, some sprinkles of Jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and sprinkles of hot sauce either out Sriracha Ketchup, La Tapatio or other hot style sauce. 

The tortillas are folded over into wraps and friends have choices of sauces, salads, beans, rice, of course pinquito beans layered with cheese and more to round out their plates.  Along with the wraps we serve a refreshing Lemonade cocktail or juice punch.  The results fabulous.
