Question from Casey, "I am curious, I love Carne Asada, how would I ask a butcher to prepare a cut of meat for me for this dish?" Casey, almost any beef cut would work for this, however I would suggest Rib Eye, Sirloin or Skirt Steak for the best results and flavor. You may want to order from your butcher ahead of time because the Rib Eye and the Sirloin will need to be partially frozen and sliced on the meat slicer 1/4 (quarter) inch thick for your recipe. The Skirt Steak will need the membrane pulled off and then pounded to 1/4 inch thickness. How much will you need to order? Well, that depends on the recipe and the amount of people being served, but I would figure at least approx 3/4 lb per person, maybe one pound if you don't mind left overs. That may sound like a lot, but I prefer to have 'too much than 'not enough'.
