Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours 35 minutes
Equipment: Oven, baking sheet, aluminum foil, large bowl, griddle or frying pan, glass bowl, cutting board, knife, ziploc bag
Servings: 6
Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Prepare the carne asada marinade by combining 1/3 cup of olive oil with the minced garlic cloves, lime juice, and seasoning sauce in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.
3. Sprinkle the Chef Merito meat seasoning evenly over the beef flat meat, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
4. Place the seasoned meat in a ziploc bag and pour in the olive oil mixture. Make sure the marinade covers all parts of the beef. Let it marinate at room temperature for at least one hour.
5. While the meat marinates, wash the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper, making sure they are fully coated.
6. Wrap each potato individually in aluminum foil, place them on a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until they're fork-tender.
7. When the potatoes are nearly done, heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat to your desired doneness, approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side.
8. Once cooked, let the meat rest, covered with foil, for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, remove the potatoes from the oven, unwrap them, and create a slit on top. Push the ends of the potato inward to open it up, and add a dollop of butter allowing it to melt inside.
9. Sprinkle a bit more garlic salt and black pepper on the potatoes, then fluff the inside with a fork. Top each potato with a generous amount of shredded Mexican cheese and return them to the oven just until the cheese has melted.
10. Chop the rested carne asada into bite-sized pieces. Remove the potatoes from the oven, open them further if needed, and top with carne asada.
11. Finish each potato with a swath of Crema Mexicana and your choice of fresh garnishes.
Cooking Tips:
-Allow your meat to reach room temperature before cooking for more even heat distribution.
-Wrap the potatoes tightly in foil to help them cook evenly and retain moisture.
-Rest your cooked meat under foil to preserve juiciness and flavor.
