One of my favorite types of food is Mexican food. If I don’t have it at least once every week I am not quite satisfied. After trying many different recipe variations that I created, I have found the one that brings that mouthwatering heat from a perfect Carne Asada. I paired it with an Avocado Cilantro “Crema” and it was a fiesta in my mouth!

Steak Ingredients:

  1. 1 to 2 pounds of grass fed ribeye steak
  2.  1/4 cup of coconut aminos (I love the kind from Trader Joes)
  3. 1/4 tsp of fish sauce (my favorite brand is Red Boat Fish Sauce)
  4. 1 TB chipotle pepper powder
  5. 1 TB Adobo Powder (Primal Palate has a great adobo, or make at home)
  6.  2 limes juiced
  7.  3 minced garlics
  8. 1 tsp salt

Avocado Cilantro Crema Ingredients:

  1.  2 Medium Avocados
  2.  1 lime juiced
  3. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  4.  1 Jalepeno chopped
  5.  2 TB olive oil
  6.  1tsp chili powder
  7. 1 tsp cumin
  8.  1/2 tsp garlic powder
  9. Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cube the steaks into 1 inch pieces, throw out excess fat and bones
  2. Mix together the rest of the steak ingredients for the marinade and put in a bag with the steak and marinate overnight
  3. Turn grill on high
  4. Now its time to make the Avocado Crema, put all the ingredients in a food processor and combine! Set aside for serving.
  5. Skewer the meat and grill on high for 3 minutes per side, or until desired doneness

Enjoy with the Avocado Crema and great sides like bell peppers, pepitas, or homemade cauliflower rice!
