Carne Asada Rub Recipes

CARNE ASADA RECIPE

Steps:

• To a small plastic bag (or sealable container), add Spice Mix and whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Add Marinade Ingredients to a large freezer bag and whisk to combine. Add 3 tablespoons Spice Mix to Marinade and whisk to combine. Add steak and seal bag, removing excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator 4-12 hours.
• When ready to grill, mix remaining Spice Mix with 2 tablespoons olive oil to create a Spice Rub.
• Discard marinade and pat steaks dry with paper towel (just so steak is not wet, not to remove marinade/spices). Rub steak evenly all over with Spice Rub and let rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
• Grease and preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for 5-6 minutes per side, or until an internal thermometer reads 130-135 degrees F for medium rare or around 140 degrees for medium. Grill time will vary depending on thickness of your steak and desired level of doneness.. *If you like your steaks rare then use HIGH heat so you can get the charred outside in less time.
• Remove steak and let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain on a diagonal.

When roasted, grind them in a spice mill, blender or food processor until powder like. Next, combine all the ingredients in a container of your choice and mix completely. Presto, spice mix is done. The mix can be stored in an airtight container up to four months.
