A couple of lbs of al pastor and a couple of lbs of flap steaks. Marinaded the steaks for about 6 hours in a home made marinade that still needs to be tweaked.

Are you willing to give up the two marinade recipes?


The al pastor was marinated at the Market I went to

The Carne Asada marinade still needs a little tweaking. Next time I'm gonna do 3 oranges and one lime. The lime juice was a little too dominant this time.

Carne Asada Marinade 8.21.10


Marinade:
Zest and juice of 2 limes
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
½ bunch cilantro, chop stems and leaves
6-8 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
one med yellow onion sliced pretty thin
3/8 cup of olive oil

2 lbs flap meat
Lightly sprinkle beef both sides with some asada seasoning.

marinated meat for approx 6 hours.
 
Geez those look familiar!

Been couple days since I first saw them and I still think they look and sound great!
