CARNE ADOBADA (CHILE-MARINATED STEAK)



Carne Adobada (Chile-Marinated Steak) image

Mexican adobada, a tangy marinade with guajillo chiles, is often reserved for large cuts of pork, but it's also well-suited to any sturdy cut of steak, such as flank. The acid comes from lime juice in this formula, but vinegar or lemon juice works as well. An overnight marinade yields incredibly tender results, but a 30-minute steep is sufficient to infuse the meat with the fruity flavor of the chiles. Here, the steak is paired with a nice piquant roasted red pepper relish, which complements the deep flavors of the marinated meat. Side dishes like rice, beans and warm tortillas round this dish out for a wonderful weeknight meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dried guajillo chiles
1 chipotle chile in adobo
1/2 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
4 tablespoons lime juice, from 2 limes
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 cup drained and chopped roasted red peppers
2 small shallots, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Steamed rice or warm tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the dried guajillo chiles in a small bowl and add enough hot water to cover; soak until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, stem and seed the chiles. Using a blender or a food processor, puree the guajillos, chipotle, onion, garlic, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. If needed, add another tablespoon of water to help the mixture blend.
  • Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt, then sprinkle and pat on the dried oregano to both sides as well. Place in a large bowl, dish or resealable plastic bag, pour the chile marinade over the top and turn to coat both sides. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate, covered if needed, for up to 12 hours.
  • In a small bowl, combine the roasted red peppers and shallots with the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt, add the cilantro and stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Scrape any excess marinade off the steak and discard the marinade. Place the steak in the hot oil and cook until seared and deep golden brown on the contact side, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until seared and golden brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Cook for 1 additional minute on each side for thicker or larger cuts of steak or for medium doneness. You also can grill the steak on a hot charcoal or gas grill, turning once, until seared, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain. Serve topped with the roasted pepper-shallot relish, alongside steamed rice or warm tortillas.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for carne adovada because it has a good amount of fat that will keep the meat moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Make sure the marinade has enough time to penetrate the meat: The longer the meat marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Use a variety of chiles in the marinade: This will give the carne adovada a complex and flavorful heat. Use a combination of dried and fresh chiles, and adjust the amount of chiles depending on your desired level of heat.
  • Cook the carne adovada slowly: This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. Cook the carne adovada in a slow cooker or in the oven on low heat for several hours.
