Number Of Ingredients 23

For Marinade:
1/2 cup white onion, diced
8 to 10 cloves garlic, minced
4 serrano peppers, diced
1 tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon salt separated
Juice of 1 orange
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lime
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chile ancho powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon pepper
10 ounces Mexican beer
You Will Also Need:
1 1/2 pound flank steak, filleted in half, so it's thin
1 cup radishes, diced
1 cup pickled red onions (see recipe: http://www.hispanickitchen.com/profiles/blogs/lime-pickled-red-onions)
1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
1 lime, sliced into wedges
12 warm corn tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. In a mortar or molcajete, add the garlic, onions, and serrano peppers. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and grind it with the pestle until it becomes like a coarse-looking paste. If you don't have a mortar or molcajete, you could roughly chop in an electric mini chopper as well. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. 2. Add the remaining ingredients, minus the steak. Stir well to combine and taste for salt. Transfer the steak to a heavy plastic storage bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, seal bag and marinate for at least 6 hours. 3. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 to 40 minutes before cooking. Drain off all the marinade and transfer steak to a plate. 4. Preheat heat your grill to medium/high heat while the steaks comes to room temperature. Cook the steak on the direct heat for 5 minutes per side. Move to cooler side of the grill and continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes. Remove beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 6 minutes before slicing. Always slice against the grain for a more tender cut. It's best to keep a meat thermometer on hand to reach the desired temperature. Steak doneness: rare 130 to 135 degrees F., medium rare 140 degrees, medium 155 degrees, well done 165 degrees.

This recipe is a great value for the price. Flank steak is a relatively inexpensive cut of meat, but it's packed with flavor. The marinade also uses common ingredients that I already had in my pantry.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. The marinade can be made ahead of time, so all I have to do is throw the steak on the grill. Dinner is ready in no time!

The marinade for this Arrachera Borracha is amazing! It's got the perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory. The steak was so flavorful and tender, it melted in my mouth.
