Ingredients: 1/4 cup oil; 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (can substitute with white vinegar); 1/3 cup lime juice (can substitute with lemon juice); 1/3 cup orange juice; 1 cup water; 2 tablespoons peeled fresh garlic - crushed; 1 tablespoons white pepper; 1 1/2 tablespoons salt; 1 tablespoon ground cumin; 1 tablespoon chili powder; 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/2 orange, sliced; 1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped (no stems); 2 lbs Skirt Steak; small bundle of green onions

Servings: persons

1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar (can substitute with white vinegar)
1/3 cup lime juice (can substitute with lemon juice)
1/3 cup orange juice
1 cup water
2 tablespoons peeled fresh garlic - crushed
1 tablespoons white pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 orange, sliced
1/4 bunch cilantro, chopped (no stems)
2 lbs Skirt Steak
small bundle of green onions

1
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Place skirt steak in gallon sized freezer bag or in the bottom of a shallow baking dish. Pour carne asada marinade on top of beef, cover dish or close bag, and marinate beef for at least 1 hour before grilling.
2
Put the steak slices on a very hot grill and sear them quickly, time depends on how thin the slices are.
3
Grill the green onions at the same time, to be cut up and put in the tortilla with the carne asada.
4
I like to take the grilled steak and chop it into very small pieces (like Tacos Al Carbon) and sort of stir-fry it for a few seconds in the remaining marinade.
5
Heat corn tortillas any way you like. I like to fry them in olive oil for a minute, so that they're still soft but the corn flavor is brought out. Sppon the carne asada and some green onion onto the tortillas and enjoy!
