Carne Asada can be used for a lot of things, and having a simple, delicious version to whip up whenever you need is super helpful. Though I’ve never met a carne asada I didn’t love, there are some versions with chilis that have been a bit too much for my kids. So for me, I leave it out.
That said, it could easily be added back in for anyone looking for a little kick. 2-4 arbol chilis would do the trick.

Tacos, burritos, salad, or just as a steak with vegetables – this one is good. And while I can’t make any claims toward “authenticity,” I think it holds pretty true to authentic versions and goes great with last week’s fire roasted salsa. I really hope y’all enjoy it as much as my family and I do.
Since sharing my grill guide, I got a lot of requests to share all my favorite grilling essentials so here’s a bunch of my go-to tools.
We designed the Charly line of sofas, chairs, and ottomans with perfect proportions for comfort — with wide arms, a loungey depth, and stylish and practical lumbar pillows. Available in 70 kid-friendly, pet-friendly fabrics, this line was created with families in mind.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

Is this spicy at all? Thank yoy
There’s a bit of heat but you can always cut back on the peppercorns and chili powder if you prefer.
I appreciate that you don’t write a novel leading up to your recipe. Thank you! This looks delicious. Your recipes are always amazing!
