A delightful fusion of marinated grilled steak served over crispy homemade fries, drizzled with sour cream and guacamole.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skirt steak or flank steak
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional for marinade)
  • 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into fries
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese (or a blend)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
  • 1/2 cup fresh guacamole
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Jalapeño slices (optional for heat)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Carne Asada: In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cilantro if using. Mix well. Add the skirt steak and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  2. Prepare the Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes in vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
  3. Bake the Fries: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Fries should be golden and crispy on the edges but tender inside.
  4. Cook the Steak: Heat your grill pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place steak in pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. Assemble the Loaded Carne Asada Fries: Once fries are done, transfer them to a large serving platter. Evenly scatter the sliced carne asada over the fries. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over steak and fries while still hot.
  6. Top with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. Garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions, and jalapeño slices if desired.
  7. Serve: Finish with lime wedges on the side for a burst of fresh flavor.
