Categories     Dinner

Time 17h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

⅓ cup canola oil
⅓ cup distilled white vinegar
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
⅓ cup fresh orange juice
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
3 tablespoons jalapeño, minced
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped, plus whole leaves for serving
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 lb flank steak
8 white corn tortillas, 5 inch (12.5 cm)
pico de gallo, for serving
guacamole, for serving
sour cream, for serving
cotija cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, coriander, cumin, pepper, and chili powder.
  • Place the steak in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of the marinade and set the rest aside. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the steak in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the reserved ½ cup (120 ml) of marinade to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Heat a large grill pan over high heat until very hot. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Cook the steak on 1 side until there are dark grill marks and it is beginning to caramelize around the edges, about 6 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 5 minutes for medium rare, or 7 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Working in batches, heat the corn tortillas in a pan over medium-high heat, turning with tongs, until softened and just beginning to brown in spots, about 1 minute per side. Wrap the toasted tortillas in foil to keep warm.
  • Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then cut the slices in half. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the reduced marinade to coat.
  • Serve the steak with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

CARNE ASADA CHEESE FRIES



Carne Asada Cheese Fries image

The Piper Inn is one of the oldest, oddest and friendliest restaurants in Denver, loved by bikers and hipsters alike. It's been owned by the Levin family since opening in 1968, but because so many different cooks have passed through the kitchen over fifty years, it has a Chinese-American-Mexican menu that is entirely unique. Carne asada fries, French fries topped with the fillings of a carne asada (steak) taco, are a California-Mexican classic. The Piper Inn adds a Midwestern-style beer cheese sauce to its popular version.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3/4 pound skirt steak or flank steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice (from 1 lime)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne (optional)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon neutral oil
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup beer (preferably a lager or other beer without a pronounced flavor)
2 cups finely shredded sharp Cheddar (about 8 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked or sweet paprika
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow or white onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1 1/2 pounds homemade French fries or any fresh or frozen fried potato variety, such as home fries, waffle fries, curly fries or tater tots
Crema Mexicana or sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Add steak to a medium bowl, and toss with the lime juice, chili powder, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper until thoroughly coated. Let marinate at room temperature while you prepare the remaining components.
  • Prepare the beer cheese: In a medium saucepan, melt the cream cheese over medium heat, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add the beer in a slow stream, whisking until smooth. Let the foam die down, about 1 minute, then decrease heat to low and add the cheese one handful at a time, whisking until smooth before adding the next. Once you've integrated all the cheese, whisk in the Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder and paprika. Season to taste with salt, cover and set aside, off heat. (Makes 1 1/4 cups.)
  • Prepare the garnish: In a small bowl, stir together the onion, cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.
  • Make the carne asada: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high. Add the meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and the sauce reduces to a glaze, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Arrange cooked fries on a serving platter in an even layer, and drizzle beer cheese on top to taste. Top with the carne asada and onion-cilantro mixture. Serve with lime wedges, and crema, if desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality flank steak or skirt steak.
  • Make sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When cooking the steak, be sure to cook it over high heat so that it gets a nice sear.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak in a hot skillet or under the broiler.
  • For the fries, use fresh, russet potatoes. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges and fry them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Top the fries with the cooked steak, cheese, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Conclusion:

Carne asada fries are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give carne asada fries a try!
