Carne Asada Marinade

Desert Dweller · 10-01-2008, 06:45 AM

I was not all that happy with the concoction I came up with a couple weeks ago. So, here I am, hat in hand, asking for the help of the Brethren? Give it up guys & gals! What's your best receipe? Thx!

One part pineapple juice, one part Yoshida's marinade, little chopped onion, little chopped garlic, little chopped cilantro - Marinate over nite.

BobBrisket · 10-01-2008, 10:33 AM

I go with a beef broth and beer mix. To that I add chopped onions, garlic, cilantro, sliced japs, and pepper. I also toss in some soy sauce for the salty flavor and wooster. I also let it marinade overnight.

When I make the first turn on the grill i hit them with some fresh lime juice and some seasoning like Montreal or one of the spicy Mexican blends.

For approx 5 lbs of skirt steak (Ranchera), I use 2 tblsp kosher salt, 2 tblsp pepper, 2-1/2 tblsp garlic powder (i like garlic), 1 tblsp onion powder, 2 tbslp crushed oregano. I mix those ingredients together and place in my shaker to shake onto each piece of skirt steak. Once all has been "rubbed", I then place in a vacuum seal bag (or tuperware) and put in some orange juice, not from concentrate. I like the vacum seal, because it helps to marinade by sucking the air out, but the tuperware works as well.

I may add a couple of squirts of Worschterchier sauce, but not really necessary. I also add about half a can of beer when a beer is handy. I then let it marinade for at least two hours, over night if I have the time.

This has proven to be my best marinade yet, including the beer (but without the W sauce).

Here is my Carne Asada Marinade.
Ingredients:
1 Lime, Juiced
1 Lemon, Juiced
½ cups Orange Juice
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1-1/2 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
2 Tbsp Ground Cumin
1-1/2 tsp Crushed Coriander Seeds
6 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/4 to 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
3 Jalapenos, Chopped
1 Medium Onion, Chopped

Preparation:
1. Combine all ingredients in a 1 gallon Ziploc bag.
2. Close and mix well.
3. Add meat. (approximately 3 pounds - your choice of cuts - I usually use London Broil)
4. Marinate up to 24 hours.

I have used this both on the grill and on the smoker.

Hey if you do happen to use my marinade, can you let me know what you think? I would love to get some feedback. My family seems to like it, but I think sometimes they are not are sincere or honest as you would like them to be. Although my kids have let me know when they don't like a particular flavor or rub. In either case, I am sure anyone would like some feedback, so keep us posted!

I have been tweaking everyones suggestions from that thread and wound up with this.

OJ
Green Onions or White
Serranos
Cilantro
Fresh Garlic

I rub the meat with some seasoned salt, black pepper, cayenne and let it sit for 15 minutes before tossing it in the marinade. I marinate it for at least 4-6 hours before cooking. I tried marinating overnight but the meat gets way to mushy. I also tried using lime juice instead of OJ but the acidity seems stronger for some reason and the meat gets mushy. We took pics of the last cook but my flash card reader is not working correctly so I cannot get them out of my camera...
