I have seen a few Carne Asada cooks here and decided to try it myself as I have loved the dish at several local taco trucks. This is my first attempt on my Performer. I will be posting results of the 2nd attempt later.
Marinating Flank Steak
On the Performer getting that direct heat with the controversial baskets
Into the pan to rest
Cutting it up
Plated...sloppily because I was hungry!!!!
A few takeaways - This was a delicious, quick and easy cook. I usually am more of a smoker, and avoid direct heat so this was stepping out of my comfort zone. The meat was a bit fatty, so I will look to trim it next time or just buy a less fatty piece of meat. The local grocery store has definitely been slacking in their cuts lately, hopefully this is not the beginning of a trend. I will be posting attempt 2 later, I used my new member to the Weber family for that one.
