RICK BAYLESS CARNE ASADA
Steps:
- 1. Rinse steak in cold water, rub with some oil, and salt and pepper all surfaces liberally. 2. Blend all ingredients briskly and marinate steak overnight in a plastic bag. 3. Grill steak to your liking, being careful not to overcook (flank steak is very pink even when cooked). 6 mins on one side, 4 on the other @ medium-high grill should be way enough. 4. Cut across the grain into chunky slices and serve in your favorite mexican dish (burritos, tacos, etc.) You can turn leftover marinade into a sauce by bringing it to a boil and simmering on low for 10 mins or so.
RICK'S CROCK POT CARNE GUISADA
One of my favorite Mexican dishes is carne guisada. I combined parts of several recipes and adapted a bit for crock pot cooking. The family likes it even though they always say it's a little spicy.

- Warning: I've made my own recipe recently and it was disastrous. I tried to rate it, but wasn't able to. I've made it with good results in the past, but if I can't get consistent results you probably can't either.

CARNE ASADA WITH BLACK BEANS
At Frontera Grill in Chicago Chef Rick Bayless serves this classic dish that combines grilled marinated steak, fried plantains, homemade black beans & fresh guacamole. The easy way - trim back the ingredients in the marinade and use canned black beans served with avocado slices. Food & Wine Magazine, July 2008 edition. The ancho-chile marinade can be made up to a week ahead. The cooked black beans can be refrigerated up to 2 days ahead or on the spur of the moment - open up cans of cooked black beans & rinse them real well! The marinade needs to season the rib-eye steaks overnight. When we made it we served the guacamole; a dollops of sour cream and fried ripe plantains. Delicioso :)
