Description
A recipe for Latin Lover's Carne Asada With Orange, Olive and Red Onion Mojo
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef skirt or flank steak
- 4 oranges, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 4 cylindrical heads of romaine lettuce
- 1 (15-ounce) can hearts of palm, drained and chopped Orange, Olive and Red Onion Mojo
- 1/2 cup chopped Lindsay Large Black Ripe Pitted Olives
- 1/2 cup chopped Lindsay Spanish Stuffed Olives
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Diamond Crystal kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
1. To make mojo, whisk together olives, orange and lime juices, onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Transfer half (about 1 3/4 cups) to resealable plastic bag. Add steak, seal and let marinate at room temperature 30 minutes. Reserve remaining mojo.
2. Prepare hot fire in grill.
3. Brush orange slices and romaine with some reserved mojo and grill, turning once, until slightly charred on all sides. Remove from grill.
4. Place steak on grill and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, for medium-rare. (Discard marinade.)
To serve, cut each head of romaine into pieces and arrange with hearts of palm on each plate. Serve steak and orange slices on the side and drizzle all with remaining mojo.
