Carne Asada with Stir Fry Peppers, Rice, and Beans






So I have made a lot of latin food recently due to the fact that when we went grocery shopping last we got many ingredients for this type of food so I can not let things go to waste so I made of awesome marinated carne asada! However I did not have some of things necessary for authentic carne asada so I improvised.

Ingredients:
Flank steak cut to about 1/2 thickness
Soy Sauce
Red wine vinegar
4 cloves minced garlic
Black pepper
White pepper
Lime juice
Dried oregano
Spanish paprika
Red bell pepper
Poblano pepper
Tomato
Sweet onion
Cilantro
Sea salt
Flour tortillas
Refried beans (I cheated and used canned instead of home made) Home made beans taste the best to me and do not have a ton of ingredients or preservatives.
Jasmine Rice
Orange blossom honey
Canola Oil
Crumbling cheese


Step 1: The marinade for the steak
About a 1 cup soy sauce, 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 Tbsp Lime juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2-3 Tbsp honey, 1/2 Tbsp black pepper, 1/2 Tbsp white pepper mixed well. place your sliced steak in this marinade and let sit for about 4 hours.

Step 2:
Cook your rice and have it ready. Slice your peppers and stir fry in a smoking hot pan. Place in a covered dish to keep warm.

Step 3:
Make sure the pan is very very hot, add a tad bit of canola oil and put small hand full of meat into the pan, sear on all sides. Make sure to squeeze extra marinade from the meat before putting it in the pan. Keep doing this until all the meat has been cooked. You want the meat to still be slightly pink and not overcooked. Cut into smaller pieces. Put your beans on to cook and add whatever you want, I add a bit of crumbling cheese. Slice up your tomato, onion, and cilantro. Put all of this into a bowl and mix with a tad bit of lime juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Warm your tortillas and serve up with some crumbling cheese sprinkled all over.

Enjoy!
