Carne Asada or Steak Tacos



2 pounds beef ( I used rib steak)
olive oil
Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper

Marinade:
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and minced (or leave in the seeds if you like it hot)
1 tsp. cumin
1/2 c. fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 2 limes
2 T. white vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 c. olive oil

Place meat in a glass casserole. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over the steak making sure to cover both sides of the meat. Cover and refrigerate 4-24 hours.

Pre-heat your grill and brush with olive oil. Remove meat from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness. I like mine medium. Remove from grill and slice as thinly as possible. Serve on corn tortillas garnished with chopped onion, some more fresh cilantro, fresh salsa and guacamole!
