Carne Asada Al Chipotle Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches. Transfer meat to a 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in tomato sauce, water, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, chili powder, cumin, bouillon, pepper and salt., Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. If desired, serve with rice, flour tortillas, chopped tomatoes and shredded lettuce.

Steps:

• Rinse the onion slices in a strainer under cold running water.
• Pat dry; place in a bowl.
• Cover with the red wine vinegar.
• Set aside for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Pound the garlic with salt, using a mortar and pestle, to make a paste.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the lime juice and incorporate it into the garlic.
• Slowly add the olive oil, stirring with the pestle to incorporate it.
• (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, this can be done in a food processor.) Spoon the garlic mixture over the steak, spreading it with the back of a spoon.
• Season with salt.
• Turn the meat over and do the same with the other side.
• Combine the mayonnaise, pureed chipotle and sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon of the lime juice in another small bowl.
• Grill or fry the beef over high heat, 3 minutes.
• Turn; cook to medium rare, 1-2 minutes.
• Set aside.
• Cut the rolls in half; spread each half with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle mayonnaise.
• Arrange the avocado slices on the top half of the roll; top with a few onion rings.
• Cut the meat into pieces roughly the size of the bread; arrange on the onion rings.
• Add the bottom half of the roll; press gently to compact everything together.

Steps:

• Combine beef stock, soy sauce, and chipotle peppers in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour into a resealable plastic bag and add flank steak. Close bag and move steak around so it is well covered in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Remove bag from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess liquid. Cook steak until firm and reddish-pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes minutes per side, depending on the thickness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
