What is Carne Asada? (a Taco Filling or Barbecue?)

WHAT IS CARNE ASADA?

Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:

Is it the delicious beef from taco trucks? Or is it a plate of fajitas fresh of the plancha at your favorite mexican restaurant? For me, it actually means the South Texas tradition of grilling meats over an open fire with my family in friends. There is one rule for the carne asada: Never come empty handed!

Thank you for making this. I'm Latino, but I grew up in a Caucasian home. All of my connection to my Latino, Chicano, and Mesoamerican culture has come from people kind enough to share themselves and their culture online. Thank you for providing me with this lesson and keeping culture alive and well.

Family and friends getting together for wine, beer, music, and meat sizzling over a fire is what the good life is all about. It really is a blessing to grow up in that environment.

I love the passion Hispanics have for cooking !
I believe this is why southerners and Hispanics get a lot so well !
We're family oriented hardworking, and love to cook and feed everyone we love :)

I'm marinating my skirt steak as we speak, and taking shots of 1800 washed down with Negra Modelo

Iiii iiii !

Holy shit man, I’m a Texan too and I’m so stoked to see a fellow Texan explaining carne asada to all the folks that don’t know. I think beef ribs are my favorite but sausage is hard to beat.

God I love living in Texas!!! Mexican food, Tex Mex, BBQ, Cajun/Creole and just good old fashioned Southern cooking.

I can always tell when a man at the grill is experienced by cooking by sight, sound and smell. Great job!

I love this video. My grandfather would bbq up chicken in the 70s. He ALWAYS had sausage and Lone Star. I was very young at the time, but he made sure to give me samples of both the sausage and beer. Hahaha. This was San Antonio. Thanks for memories.

La carne asada es una forma de expresar amor a su familia y a los esfuerzos que uno hace por proveer para su familia. Es un sentimiento.

I learned how to cook authentic Mexican flavors in South Texas (Ingleside) while stationed there with the military. I had a neighbor who taught me and also introduced me to his aunts (owned the City Tortilla Factory in Ingleside Texas) who made the Best Tex Mex flavor I have had to this day. It was much different than the flavors of Southern California which was my previous favorite and different to the flavors of Tijuana which I also loved. The flavors matched Harlington and Matamoros, when we lived there, Thanks for bringin a good show to YouTube, informative, techniques and good-looking food, , , Salud mi Amigo, , ,

Thank you for explaining this to me. I have been cooking backyard BBQ (grill) for years. Beer, BBQ, and friends.

[gothamantiquities]

Dude, you are the real OG from the block! I wish you were neighbor in NY and it would be awesome to have everyone cooking different styles and trying them all!

[jasonsmith]

Arnie, found your channel and absolutely love what and how you cook. From SE Texas, you make Texas PROUD. Well done young man.

[Eli_skips]

This got suggested to me for some reason. Love your personality and learned that carne asada is not just beef fajitas. All the food looks muy bien.

Carne asada to me is.. all the familia, tios, tias, primos, getting together with tortillas, beans, arroz, mexican beer and tejano music all night !!

[javiersolis]

Se siente El amor que le pones ha tu comida hermano. Es El ingrediente mas importante. You took me back to my abuelito's house when I was a kid. Keep on grilling mi hermano!

[nednobody]

I remember a couple years I lived in TX back in the 80s, A HD, Some beers and some of the best grilled meat ever in them wide open bars with the monster fans. I like the way you man the grill, Thanks for the memories of some good times...

Carne asada is what you grew up with. Keep the marinade simple and have some tortillas ready to make tacos. The soft ones and some that you leave a little longer to get stiffer and charr. Have some veggies roasting for a salsa, if you have leftover carne that’s getting old use the salsa you made and pour it onto the sliced carne in a sauce pan with diced potatoes. Make some rice on the side and now leftovers seem like a new meal.
