Chile Carne Asada

By Chelsie Kenyon, About.com

This recipe is so delicious, you can eat the meat as main course, or cut it up for burritos and tacos.

Ingredients:

  • 5-6 Dried Red Chiles
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 2-3 lbs skirt or flank steak

Preparation:

Rehydrate and puree the dried chiles which will take about 30 minutes. Whisk the chile puree, the lime juice and cumin together. Rub the mixture on the meat, cover and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you can. Bring to room temperature and cook on a medium hot grill to desired doneness.
