My memories of Mexican carne asada tortas are tied to the ham tortas that El Chavo del Ocho made famous through out the world. Before coming to California I never had the chance to try these delicious sandwiches. Today I will share with you my favorite torta recipe with grilled meat. It is served with tomato, lettuce, avocado, refried beans and mayonnaise, and then wrapped in a lightly toasted roll. To give it an authentic touch, don't forget to add thin slices of jalapeños. Enjoy and Viva Mexico!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds skirt steak
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (1 large orange)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Mexican oregano or other oregano
4 cloves garlic
1 serrano chile, seeds removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the skirt steak in a large glass bowl or resealable plastic bag.
  • To make the marinade, add the cilantro, olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, honey, oregano, garlic and serrano chile to a blender. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Blend for 35 to 40 seconds to combine.
  • Pour the marinade all over the steak, moving it around to make sure everything is covered. Cover or seal and transfer to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but no more than 6 (too long in the marinade will cause the steak to begin breaking down).
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • When ready, remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and grill about 4 minutes per side for medium.
  • Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the lime wedges.

Provided by Katie Aubin

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!

1 star reviewer zmailed me and said: "I really don't think the problem was with your recipe at all, my family are not big on things like avacado, or chilli like me. It was just not for my family." i'm not sure why she tried my recipe if her family doesnt like the ingredients or why she didnt comment in her review, but i have an idea; careful what you say around here, people can leave bad reviews even if they havent tried your recipe..sucks :( if you can, start by going to a carniceria & picking up some pre-marinated carne asada & some bolillos. if thats not available to you then i suggest you marinate the steaks in Recipe #220759 only through step 6 using ingredients vinegar through paprika & you can use any soft roll type bread if you cant find bolillos. these are so tasty you HAVE to try 'em!!

CARNE ASADA LORENZA



Carne Asada Lorenza image

For centuries, Sonoran carne asada tacos have traditionally been assembled in flour tortillas. However, the corn tortilla, salted and crisped on the same grill that cooks and seasons the meat, has been added to the mix, creating a crunchy open taco called the Carne Asada Lorenza. Not only is it a sight to behold, but it has become such a favorite that it's starting to rival the flour tortilla taco. Once the corn tortilla is seasoned and grilled, it is slathered with refried beans, mounted with copious amounts of melty cheese, and placed back on the grill for the cheese to ooze all over. The taco base becomes a sumptuous bed for the carne asada. Finish it with fire-roasted salsa and guacamole, and you will see what the Lorenza hype is all about.

Categories     dinner, meat, tacos, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 large white onion, for cleaning the grill
Beef fat (cut from the meat, if fatty), tallow or vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
2 pounds chuck roll, sliced into 1/2-inch steaks
2 pounds top sirloin, sliced into 1/2-inch steaks
4 teaspoons kosher or sea salt (about 1 teaspoon per pound of meat), or to taste, plus more for salting tortillas
12 corn tortillas
Frijoles de Fiesta (Fiesta Refried Beans) (see recipe)
12 ounces asadero, quesadilla, Monterey Jack or Oaxaca cheese, grated (about 3 cups)
Salsa Tatemada Norteña (Fire-Roasted Salsa) (see recipe)
Chile Verde Guacamole (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or gas grill, and get it very hot. For gas, set to high heat. For charcoal, grill is ready when coals are red but entirely covered with gray ash, and you can hold your hand about 5 to 6 inches above the coals for only about 4 to 5 seconds before it becomes too hot.
  • Clean and season the grill: Using a pair of tongs, rub a quarter of a white onion over it. Next, rub the beef fat over the grill to season it further. (Alternately, you can do this using tallow or vegetable oil.)
  • Working in batches if needed to avoid crowding, place the meat over the hot grill. Season the meat generously with salt on top right before throwing it on the grill, salt-side up. (Alternatively, sprinkle the salt on top of the meat once it's on the grill.)
  • Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, until the bottom has seared, deep grill marks have developed, and the meat juices have started rising and bubbling over the top. Flip to the second side and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes for medium. Remove the meat and place in a lidded dish or container. Cover the cooked meat while you grill the remainder. Allow the meat to rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • One by one, take out the pieces of meat and cut into about 1/2-inch dice, placing them back in the same lidded dish and covering until the meat has been chopped.
  • If using gas, reduce the heat of the grill to medium. Brush the corn tortillas with water and sprinkle or rub with salt to taste on both sides. Place on the grill - if using charcoal, place them over indirect heat - and let them toast for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on how hot the grill is, until lightly browned and crisped on both sides.
  • Remove the crisp tortillas from the grill, slather each one with a couple tablespoons of refried beans on one side and cover the beans with 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
  • Place them back on the grill, cheese-side up, and cook until cheese has completely melted and corn tortillas have browned darker and crisped further, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill, place on a platter, top with a generous amount of diced meat and bring to the table. Let your guests top with salsa and guacamole to their liking.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for flank steak or skirt steak for the carne asada, and use ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro.
  • Marinate the carne asada: Marinating the carne asada in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder is a good place to start.
  • Cook the carne asada over high heat: Carne asada is best cooked over high heat to get a nice char on the outside and keep the inside tender and juicy. You can cook it on a grill, in a skillet, or on a griddle.
  • Use a variety of toppings: There are many different toppings that you can use to serve with carne asada. Some popular options include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Carne asada can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas. It also goes well with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Carne asada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're making it for a party or just a weeknight dinner, these tips will help you make the best carne asada possible. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
