GRILLED TEQUILA-GARLIC-LIME FLANK STEAK



Grilled Tequila-Garlic-Lime Flank Steak image

"Flank steak has a large surface area, which means you get more of a Maillard reaction -- that?s a fancy term for browning -- and more flavor," says Guy.

BEST EVER CARNE ASADA MARINADE



Best Ever Carne Asada Marinade image

This traditional Mexican carne asada marinade recipe will marinade 5 or 6 pounds of meat and can be easily halved or doubled. I've tried many carne asada recipes through the years, and this one outshines them all. The flavors are the most flavorful and authentic and the meat is pull-apart tender. I suggest marinating overnight for the best results. Muy delicioso!
