1
Get your flap steak at a mercado (Mexican Market) or Carniceria (Mexican Butcher) if one is available.
-
2
It will also be sold as Carne Asada Ranchera.
-
3
If this isn't available, you may also purchase skirt steak at your local grocery store, but it's not quite the same.
-
4
The flap steak has the texture and fat content to come out'just right'.
-
5
Mix your marinade together in a bowl large enough to hold all plus the meat.
-
6
Place the meat in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
-
7
Grill the meat on high heat on your grill, until it is brown on both sides.
-
8
Cook to a temperature you prefer.
-
9
For most this is well done, I happen to like it so it is stil juicy.
-
10
Serve with flour or corn tortillas, and the sides you like, such as cheese, onions, hot sauce, etc.
-
11
I recommend fresh flour tortillas (probably at the same mercado you got the meat at), and by fresh, I mean made that day.
-
12
Regular tortillas are ok, but fresh is better.
-
13
If you have a Chevy's or Don Pablos or other restaurant that makes their tortillas fresh for their customers, go buy some.

It's usually about$2 per dozen, and well worth it.
