2 lbs flank steak
2 limes, juiced
4 cloves mashed garlic
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 minced Jalapeño chile
2 tbsp vinegar

Marrinate the meat for at the very least 24 hours - or up to two to three days - in the refrigerator.

And a key part of the process is tenderizing the steak beforehand with a Jaccard (https://jaccard.com/product/original-super-meat-tenderizer-48-knives/).

The Jaccard has 48 tiny blades which pierce the meat and separate the chewy parts. The first time I used it I thought that these holes would be evident after cooking but they are not. Go over both top and bottom of any tough or chewy piece of meat then cook as normal. This also gets the marinade deeper into the meat as well.

I usually forego the marinades.  I use ribeye steak sliced about 1/2”.   Salt, and let rest for 30 minutes.  Dust generously with Hatch green chile powder.  Sear over charcoal, and let it cook until it is medium.  Let rest 5 minutes.  Cut it up into strips, then into cubes.  Serve with fresh corn tortillas off the comal with fresh pico, cilantro and lime.  I really like it with the Herdez street taco sauces.

Onion and garlic milk.

It depends on the cut you used but cutting it first could make it dry out and easily over cook which could make it tougher.  But at least you know what it tastes like.

I don’t remember who mentioned it, but ever since someone pointed me to https://www.seriouseats.com/carne-asada-food-lab-recipe-kenji
I was hooked. It’s a very nice flavorful marinade. Only downside is you continue to taste it for hours after.

Pairs nicely with a good copycat king taco salsa rojo or the other half of the marinade, per the recipe.

Marinate in Marguerite mix with tequila on the heavy side.  Then salt, pepper and onion powder.  Chop with cleaver. Add fresh cilantro, avocado, onions and choice of sauce. I prefer corn tortillas with this approach.  Darn close to Baja surf camp tacos.

This thing good for the dish washer or is it gonna get a bunch of water inside it and rust.

Very good to hear it!

I usually just soak (10-20 minutes?) it standing up in a pan of soapy water, swish it vigorously, then rinse. If there is anything that seems to be sticking I will soak it longer. No problems so far and I've had it for at least 10 years.

It's a great tool for any tougher meat like chuck and skirt steaks.

Did you buy the skirt from a Mexican meat market and was it cut thin butterfly style? Regular butchers don’t understand how to cut skirt steak for carne asada.

This does sound amazing, but it goes against the #1 rule both my Mexican families instilled into me about traditional Mexican food:  simplicity.

Good Mexican food is simple.

Get you some skirt/flank steak, salt it, and marinade it in beer overnight.  Season it with your favorite seasonings (lightly, let the meat flavor dominate), then garnish with cilantro, lime, and jalapeño.  

It should be easy and simple, not over seasoned.

I did:

olive oil
white vinegar
lime juice
lemon juice
half a jar of chipotles in adobo (what was left of it anyway, had been utilized previously)
onion powder
cumin powder
paprika
heaping little chonk of minced garlic
dash of mexican oregano

Blended that shit up into a puree.  I'll salt it to slightly overtaste when the meat is ready to be vac sealed with the marinade slurry (almost defrosted but not yet).

I followed the Chef Jean Pierre method of measurement "remember, measure carefully" (then just eyeballs it and adjusts on the fly just because).

Hm... I never marinate anything acidic in plastic or metal containers. It doesn't always end up tasting metalic or like plastic but the times it has have taught me to stick with glass, Corningware, or ceramics. YMMV.

It is one of the tenderizing ingredients more than flavor.  I always squeeze lime juice on my taco when I make them anyways.

I wasn't talking about damage to the containers. I was trying to explain that sometimes the acidic ingredients leach the plastic into the mix and screw up the flavor. I had to throw out three Carne Asada steaks because they had marinated in a zip-lok baggie and had a strong plastic flavor.
