MicheMami Carne Asada
This is the carne asada we make when we want maximum flavor with minimal effort. our MicheMami brings the both the spice, and savory depth that usually takes a dozen ingredients to build. A combination of fish salt and sea salt seasons the meat all the way through, while onions and jalapeños slowly infuse the marinade with sweetness and fresh chile flavor. The longer it marinates, the better it gets. Just don't forget the cold miches...

Preheat a charcoal grill, gas grill, or pellet grill to high heat.
Remove the meat from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off.
Place directly over the hottest part of the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
