Carne Asada (Grilled Steak)

1. 1

   In a large stainless steel or glass bowl, mix the meat with the onions, orange juice, salt, pepper and oil. Cover and marinate at least 1 hour, or better yet overnight.

2. 2

   Start a good fire in your grill, preferably with mesquite charcoal. Remove the meat from its marinade, pat dry and grill over hot flame until the first side is well browned, from 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Turn the meat over and grill on the other side until cooked to desired doneness. Remove to a clean platter.

4. 4

   Slice meat into thin strips across the grain and serve as a topping for tostadas or as a filling for tacos or burritos.
