Herb's take

This Mexican-inspired dinner takes the ribeye out of the steakhouse and into your hands, sliced, flame-kissed, and wrapped with caramelized veggies. You’ll learn why high heat, marinade timing, and rapid rest are the heroes of asada perfection.

Instructions

  1. 01
    In a medium bowl, combine the orange zest and juice, lime zest and juice, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
  2. 02
    Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a small bowl to use later as a finishing sauce.
  3. 03
    Place the ribeye steaks in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour in the remaining marinade. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while prepping veggies.
  4. 04
    Toss the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion with canola oil in a mixing bowl.
  5. 05
    Preheat a grill to high (about 500°F). Clean and oil the grates well.
  6. 06
    Grill the vegetables over direct heat, turning occasionally, until well charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
  7. 07
    Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the ribeyes over direct heat, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  8. 08
    Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest 8 minutes, tented loosely with foil.
  9. 09
    While steaks rest, warm the tortillas on the grill for 20 seconds per side, until soft and pliable. Stack and wrap in a clean towel.
  10. 10
    Slice the rested ribeye thinly against the grain.
  11. 11
    Fill each tortilla with a handful of grilled peppers and onions, top with sliced carne asada, and a drizzle of the reserved finishing marinade. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
  12. 12
    Serve immediately, rolling into wraps or folding taco-style. Enjoy your dinner envelopes!
