The first step is the easiest and the quickest! You will need to make the marinade. Take the orange juice, freshly squeezed limes, salt, pepper, vinegar, and red hot chili seasoning and place directly into the gallon sized sealable Ziplock bag.
Once the marinade is prepared for this carne asada with gravy recipe, then you will need to prepare the meat. On the cutting board, make small fine cuts side ways or vertically on the meat. Don't slice it into cubes though. After the meat is cut and prepared, place the meat into the bag.
Before you refrigerate the marinade and meat, close the bag carefully and with your hands massage the marinade and seasonings into the meat. Add this bag to your fridge for it to sit for a minimum of two hours.
Once the meat is in the fridge and there is only ten minutes left before you start cooking, chop the rest of the ingredients (onions, garlic, etc.). This will be the topping on top of the meat.
Take the meat out of the bag and on the stove top in a large plan, brown the onions and garlic with a small amount of oil. During step 4 of making this carne asada with gravy recipe, you will be cooking or searing the steak meat onto the pan.
Cook the meat for five to ten minutes before flipping. Using a spatula or the tongs, press down the meat so it cooks more. To make a thicker gravy from the marinade, add cornstarch or white flour and cook with the carne asada.
The best step is the last step while making this carne asada with gravy recipe. You will need to style and serve. Sprinkle the onions and garlic on top and enjoy! Some people also squeeze lime or add cilantro, it is up to your own preference!
