Carne Asada and a Virgin Refrito

So making Carne Asada tonight a little different and my first attempt at Refried Beans. Everything lined up. On the cutting board all on the left for the Refrito and the right side for the marinade. Garlic, juice of three limes, orange juice, one red onion, some of the Chef Morito for the marinade along with Cilantro. Went medieval on the meat before marinating

Pinto's been soaking since early this morning, going Tacoless this time with a side of my modified Gourmet Coleslaw

In the fridge for about six hours

Stubbs started in the OTG and the Carne pulled and seasoned with the Merito

Some Bacon in the CI for the grease, garlic and scallion on first with a few hotties

Saved about two cups of the Bean simmering water to use, some fresh ground and kosher

Google or search here for Gourmet Cole Slaw, it is the best I ever had. I add extra thinly sliced green pepper and thinly sliced radishes to mine.
 
It helps with skirt which is sometimes tough. It also gets the marinade into the meat better. I prefer flank for this dish but none was available. This came out good, some pieces were very tender and some were a little chewier. The Refrito was quite delicious as was the coleslaw
 
Wow!! Slaw looks great! Looks like a primal meal besides the great looking beans! Yeah on the New Years fad diet
 
Nice looking meal, Bill! All of you doing these amazing Carne Asada recipes makes me want to stop by our local Supermercado and pick up some flap meat and all the things needed to make an excellent meal because all this drooling is mucking up my keyboard!

Thanks for sharing!

I wish you'd open a restaurant near my house - that looks great!

I've tried refried beans a time or two in my pressure cooker, from dried to done in a little over an hour (google 'pressure cooker refried beans' if interested, I didn't have to look too long to find something that looked good). I'd like to try your slaw too-----that's half the reason to my reply ;)
