Carne asada
Carne asada is a grilled dish of beef that is popular in many Latin American countries. The meat is usually marinated in a citrus-based sauce before being grilled.
The origins of carne asada are not clear, but it is thought to have originated in Mexico or Central America. The dish is popular in many Latin American countries, including Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Venezuela.
In Mexico, carne asada is often served with tortillas, refried beans, salsa, and guacamole. In Honduras, it is typically served with rice, beans, and plantains. In Nicaragua, it is often served with gallo pinto (rice and beans) and yuca frita (fried cassava).
Advice
When making carne asada, take your time to prepare the marinade. As carne asada is a traditional Mexican dish, it's important to use the right combination of spices to really bring out the flavor. Try combining cumin, garlic, oregano, and chili powder with a bit of olive oil and lime juice. Let the steak marinade for at least 4 hours, or even overnight. When you're ready to cook, use a hot grill or a cast iron pan to get that perfect charred flavor. When the steak is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing for the best results.
