Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 10
• 5 lbs flap steak
• 3 cups soy sauce
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 (12 ounce) can

Recipe

• 1 get your flap steak at a mercado (mexican market) or carniceria (mexican butcher) if one is available.
• 2 it will also be sold as carne asada ranchera.
• 3 if this isn't available, you may also purchase skirt steak at your local grocery store, but it's not quite the same.
• 4 the flap steak has the texture and fat content to come out'just right'.
• 5 mix your marinade together in a bowl large enough to hold all plus the meat.
• 6 place the meat in the marinade, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• 7 grill the meat on high heat on your grill, until it is brown on both sides.
• 8 cook to a temperature you prefer.
• 9 for most this is well done, i happen to like it so it is stil juicy.
• 10 serve with flour or corn tortillas, and the sides you like, such as cheese, onions, hot sauce, etc.
• 11 i recommend fresh flour tortillas (probably at the same mercado you got the meat at), and by fresh, i mean made that day.
• 12 regular tortillas are ok, but fresh is better.
• 13 if you have a chevy's or don pablos or other restaurant that makes their tortillas fresh for their customers, go buy some.
• 14 it's usually about$2 per dozen, and well worth it.
