Carne Asada Skirt Steak

Description

Carne Asada is a dish of grilled and sliced beef, our butchers start with a skirt steak and cut it thin and ready for marinade.  This cut is a Southwestern favorite.

Carne Asada just means grilled beef, so it’s a pretty generic term. However, what I generally think of is a marinated piece of flank or skirt steak, cut into thin strips and then served in tortillas along with some garnishes.

The Flank steak is a long, flat cut that comes from the abdomen of the animal. The muscle fibers are tough, long, and coarse, because they work hard. And because they work hard, they’re also full of deep beef flavor. The trick is to prepare flank steak and cut it to maximize flavor while minimizing toughness. Fortunately, this is not hard to do. Add your citrus based marinade for a couple hours and then grill.
