“Carne Asada Fiesta”
OH baby…we need some fiesta summer flavor…a grilling to remember with each and every bite…we are creating a “Carne Asada Fiesta” this week…a taste delight to put at the top of our grilling repertoire. It’s a prepare-in-advance masterpiece which delights both family and guests, so let’s do it together!
Ingredients: (serves several)
• 4-5 lbs. organic, beef flap meat
• 1/2 cup organic coconut aminos
• 1/2 cup organic orange juice
• 1/2 cup organic lime juice
• 1/2 cup organic, virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 6 gloves garlic, minced
• 1 organic, medium-sized onion, finely chopped
• 4-6 Tbsp. chipotle pepper paste (once you find it…you’ll love it to death!)
• 1 Tbsp. chili powder
• 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
• 1 Tbsp. paprika
• 1 Tbsp. cilantro (dried or finely chopped fresh)
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. white pepper
In large bowl thoroughly mix all liquid and dry ingredients plus garlic & onion together for your marinade
Lay flap meat in a large casserole-type dish and pour the marinade mixture over meat to completely cover, then pierce meat many times with a fork…now refrigerate
Allow marinade to work its magic on the flap meat for 48 hours to thoroughly penetrate flavor into the meat and tenderize it to perfection
Heat your grill to high…once grill is HOT, place your meat on grill and turn only once to thoroughly brown both sides for perfect flavor…be sure to share with family & friends!
