How to cook deliciously - Carne Asada

1. Stage

In a blender, blend cilantro stems, chiles, garlic, orange juice, oil, garlic powder, lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, oregano, and juice of 2 limes until smooth. Transfer to a resealable bag or large bowl. Add steak, turn to coat, and refrigerate about 3 hours.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, cut remaining 2 limes into wedges for serving. Chop cilantro leaves; set aside for serving.

3. Stage

Prepare a grill for high heat; heat 5 minutes. Pat steak dry and grill, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 130° for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes. Slice across the grain or chop into small pieces.

4. Stage

Using tongs, heat tortillas over a gas burner until browned in spots, about 30 seconds per side. Slice avocado; season with salt and pepper. Build tacos with steak, onion, reserved cilantro, avocado, and lime wedges. Serve with salsa alongside.
