Carne Asada Recipe

1. 1

   Combine 2 cups of the beer, the lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, onion, and measured pepper in a large, nonreactive bowl and mix.

2. 2

   Add the flank steak, cover, place in the refrigerator, and marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight.

3. 3

   When ready to cook the meat, heat a grill to high (about 500 degrees F).

4. 4

   Remove the meat from the marinade (reserving the marinade juices), pat it dry, and season well with salt.

5. 5

   Transfer the marinade to a medium saucepan, add the remaining 1/2 cup beer, and place over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Bring to a boil, skim off any foam or impurities that come to the surface, and let the mixture reduce by half, about 20 minutes.

7. 7

   Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl, mix in the brown sugar, and season well with salt and pepper.

8. 8

   Place the meat on the grill and cook to medium, about 7 to 10 minutes per side.

9. 9

   Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

10. 10

    If serving as a main, slice the steak against the grain into 1-inch strips; if serving as a filling for tacos or burritos, coarsely chop.

11. 11

    Place in a serving dish and cover with the reduced marinade juices.
