Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Brad is from the southwest and was brought up eating Carne Asada, so I HAD to come up with a good recipe. After a few adjustments, yeah! he loves this recipe!

We serve this with warm tortillas, any fixings you would use on tacos, especially cheese, Pico de Gallo, along with guacamole and some kind of beans for the sides. Bueno! See the Pico de Gallo and Guacamole recipes included.
