Hot and fast carne asada with the vortex

[customtrim]

Making some Carna asada for work lunch tomorrow. Marinated 24 hours. Being the flank steak needs hot and fast figures would be a good job for the vortex, this also helps keeping the thin end away from the direct heat. Everything worked like a charm even tho the pics shows looked on the thin side one guy wont eat it if it is red. First time cooking came out great would add a couple more peppers to the mix tho

The first picture looks perfect, an amazing result !! The second picture looks kind of bizarre, the light caught it funny like it's frozen. Anyway, great job, did you eventually do tacos???

[customtrim]

Will be tacos tomorrow. It does look frozen

I'm kinda liking the Vortex, may pick one up for wings and such !! Thanks for putting it through it's paces for us !

Troutman, the Vortex is one of the best kettle add-ons That I have purchased. 👍

No worries customtrim it looks fantastic! Heck in some of my pics you can't tell if it's food or not for sure!

[RonB]

That looks like a great start.

Nice! My wife is from Nicaragua so carne asada is a regular thing for me.

What did you maranade it in?

[customtrim]

It is a recipe from another member

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
2 limes, juiced
1 orange, juiced
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil

[SmokeyGator]

Interesting. My wife (and now I) use olive oil, a lot of garlic, parsley, lime juice, salt, and pepper. That’s it.

By the way this is a thing here too. Grilled plantains

I love my Vortex for hot and fast chicken pieces. It is awesome for wings. And it will put a killer sear on a steak!

[Spinaker]

Awesome sear! I love the vortex for stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.
