I like this thread.. mmm lets see I was born in Sonora, Mexico.
Roasted Meat (Carne asada) is typical of Sonora,
Ingedients:
1 kilogram of boneless chuck steak (250 grams per person)
1 spoonful of salt
Instructions: The grill must be set on fire using firewood or live coal. Place the meat on the grill. When the surface becomes bloody and juicy, add some salt and turn upside down. Let it roast without turing any further until cooked medium rear and juicy.
Typically green onions are placed on the gril roasting along with the meat; afterward add some lemon juice, salt, and serve as snacks.
You can serve the meat with tortillas and frijoles to complete the most traditional Sonora's meal. Your family will love it.
