Skillet Carne Asada Recipe

Cook Time: 8 minutes + 5 minutes rest after cooking

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 lb flank steak
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 lime
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Steps:

1. Cut the meat into two pieces. Use a fork to prick holes in the meat. Place in a large plastic bag or shallow dish and pour remaining ingredients on meat. Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2. Grease a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When skillet is hot, add marinated steak strips and brown until well on all sides, cooking until the desired doneness is reached. The cooking time will depend on the size of the steak pieces but should be about 3 to 4 minutes per side. I cooked mine next to peppers for the same amount of time.

3. Remove steak to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut it against the grain.

 
4. Then cut it several times with the grain. Give one a try to salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve as the star to a taco platter or with sides.
