Authentic Carne Asada Sous Vide Flank Steak

 INGREDIENTS

2 pounds skirt steak trimmed of excess fat (recipe note #2)

Carne Asada Marinade

1 jalapeño seeded and minced

4 cloves garlic minced

½ cup fresh cilantro leaves chopped

juice of 1 orange

juice of 1 lime

juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

⅓ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Added: Brown Sugar, Onion Powder and Paprika to taste as optional ingredients

INSTRUCTIONS

 In a large glass baking dish whisk together Carne Asada marinade ingredients (jalapeño through black pepper) until combined. Add skirt steak in a single layer, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 8 hours (longer will begin to break down the meat - recipe note #3).

When you're ready to grill: preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill steaks for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once for medium-rare. Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

EDIT: Sous Vide at 130 for 3-5 hours.
