Carne Asada con Moho (Grilled Beef with Sour Orange Marinade)






  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (save 2 of the juiced halves)
  • 1/2 cup beer
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Mexican oregano, crumbled
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 dried bay leaves
  • 1 sprig (6 in.) fresh rosemary
  • 1 large red onion, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced into half moons
  • 2 pounds skirt steak
  • Warm corn tortillas
  • Guacamole
  • Hot sauce or salsa

Preparation

  1. 1. Combine orange juice, beer, oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, bay leaves, and rosemary in a glass 9- by 13-in. baking dish. Add orange halves, onion, and steak and mix with your hands to coat evenly. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, or chill, covered, 2 hours (no longer, or the citrus will "cook" the meat), turning meat occasionally.
  2. 2. Heat a grill to very high (550° to 650°). Discard rosemary, bay leaves, and orange halves. Drain meat and onions. Put onions on a doubled sheet of foil and turn up edges just a little to make a shallow 6- by 9-in. container.
  3. 3. Grill onions on the foil, stirring occasionally with tongs, until edges start to char, 8 to 10 minutes. Add steak to grill and cook, turning once, until well browned and done the way you like, 8 minutes for medium-rare.
  4. 4. Transfer steak and onions to a board; slice steak. Serve with tortillas, guacamole, and hot sauce.
Warm tortillas directly on the grill just until hot, turning once; stack and wrap in a towel
