Carne Asada for New Years

Happy New Year! Today we had people over for Carne Asada on the barbeque. This marinade is incredibly easy and was a huge hit. We made 8 lbs of it, which ended up being a lot more than we needed for 10 people. We would have been fine with 6 lbs. We grossed up the ingredients below to account for our large volume of meat.

skirt steak 3 lbs
orange 3 sliced in half
onion 1 sliced thin
garlic powder 3 Tbsps
seasoned salt 2 Tbsps
pepper 1 tsp
oregano (dried) 2 Tbsps
vegetable oil 1/2 cup

1. Combine the garlic powder, seasoned salt, pepper, and oregano. Combine thoroughly.
2. In a baking dish spread out a layer of the onions.
3. Place a piece of the meat over the onions.
4. Squeeze 1/2 an orange over the meat.
5. Sprinkle the seasoning to taste over the meat.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of meat and continue to create a stack of meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
7. Grill until nicely charred on both sides.

Serve with warm tortillas, diced onions and cilantro, and hot salsa.
