Carne Asada

When you search online for carne asada recipes, every single one recommends flank, skirt, or some other kind of belt steak.

At $20+ per pound, that's not reasonable.

Instead, I use any of the below are $10 per pound.

  1. Beef knuckle
  2. Top sirloin
  3. Bottom round

The key is to get it cut super thin and then diced. Then use any marinade recipe you find online.

I have a 1/2 inch pizza steel in my oven that I use to cook the bottom of foods while simultaneously using the broiler. This way, I don't have to flip foods where I inevitably burn myself.

I've only done this once so this recipe is a work in progress.
