CARNE ASADA INSPIRED BITES
.
While I’m sure I broke a lot of traditional rules when it comes to these steak bites, I love traditional carne asada and took some inspiration in making these. The bites are perfect for multiple meals throughout the week, but I put them inside a lowcarb tortilla with some cheese and guac and it was just incredible!
.
Here is how to make them:
.
Ingredients:
2 lbs ribeye steak
3 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 2 limes
Juice of 1 orange
1/4 cup Tamara or soy sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp cumin
1tbsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 to 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey or powdered monk fruit

Instructions:

1.Grab 2lbs of ribeye (or cut of your choice) and cut into 1 or 1/2 inch cubes.You can also use flank or hangar steak. Add to a large bowl.
.
2.Prepare the marinate by mixing together the juice of an orange, juice from 2 limes, 1/4 cup soy or Tamari sauce, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp white vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, a pinch of salt and pepper, the spices above, and 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro. If you want to add a touch of sweetness, I recommend adding 1 to 2 tbsp of sugar, honey, or powdered monk fruit. Pour over steak, mix well, cover, and let marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
.
3.You can grill these (highly recommend!) or make them over a cast iron pan. Sine they are cut into small pieces, they only need 2-3 minutes per side on a very hot pan.
.
4.Once cooked, remove the steak cubes from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve the bites however way you wish.
.
5.I added 1 tsp of shredded cheese to the bottom of a pan on medium heat, added a lowcarb tortilla on top of it, added 1/2 serving of cheese, 2 oz bites until cheese was melted, then added a tablespoon of guac, some fresh cilantro, and squeezed some lime juice over the top. You can use whatever toppings or fixings you like!
.
ENJOY!
