Smoked Carne Asada

[masondixon]

Just barely over freezing, rain, and sleet? Sounds like perfect smoking weather to me. Started with a Top Round Steak (London Broil), stewed over night in my carne asada marinade. Fired up my COS using KBB and a few pecan chunks. Threw that bad boy on and smoked around 230 for approx 2hrs until IT was 115. Pulled and reverse seared on my Weber Genesis, 4 minutes on each side. Pulled off and IT was 135. Sliced some limes and avacado. (Cheated and bought the grocery store Pico) Threw it all on a corn tortilla. Made some pretty tasty tacos. Probably should have seared a
Minute or two less, too much gray at the edges.

[masondixon]

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
1cup water
1/2 orange, Rhine removed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 white onion
4-5 large garlic cloves
Couple whole cloves or 1/2 tsp ground
