Carne asada

Ingredients for 4

• 2 Lbs of Flank Steak

• 2 cups of Orange Juice

• 1 bulb of Garlic ( minced )

• 1 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice

• 1 Tbs of Achote (Anatto)

• 1.5 Tbs of oregano

• 1 Tbs of Chipotle Powder

• 1 Tbs of Smoked Paprika

• 5 Jalapeños (sliced)

• 1/2 an Onion Chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Step 1

  Marinate the flank steak over night in all the ingredients, except the onion. This can be done in a large bowl or in a vacuum sealed bag. Make sure it is in the fridge.

• Step 2

  Remove the Steak and place in a vacuum sealed bag or a large zipper bag

• Step 3

  Add your fresh cut onions and half a cup of the marinade. ( take this time to judge if you need more or less of the marinade). Make sure you do not over crowed the bags. The steaks should be flat against the bag not folded making sure all both sides of the steak touch the bag. Cut into multiple pieces if necessary.

• Step 4

  Vacuum seal the bag or use the submersion method for the zipper bag by putting it in the water and closing the bag.

• Step 5

  Place in the pot or bucket, with the sous vide set to 129°F. Make sure steaks are fully submerged. Clip if necessary. Cook for 12 hrs.

• Finishing Steps

• Step 0

  Take from the bag and put directly on the grill or hot cast iron for 2-4 min each side. Flip ever 2 min. Top with salsa or, my favorite, chimichurri sauce. And enjoy.
