Carne asada sans prise de tête

Ingrédients

• Carne preparada (pre-marinated skirt steak) from your local carniceria
• Tortillas (corn or flour)
• Salsa (homemade or store-bought)
• Pico de gallo (see recipe)

Préparation

1. 1

   Source Your Meat: Find your local Latin grocery store or carniceria (Mexican butcher shop) and ask for their carne asada that has already been prepared, also called 'carne preparada.' It's usually skirt steak marinated in a special marinade unique to each shop. Sometimes it's in the glass at the meat counter; other times you have to ask for it.

2. 2

   Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Grill the carne asada over direct heat until cooked through with a nice char, about 3–4 minutes per side depending on thickness.

3. 3

   Serve: Slice the carne asada against the grain and serve with warm tortillas, salsa, and pico de gallo. That's it; you're a star.
