Carne Asada

Salt

Marinade:
2/3 cup prepared Italian dressing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Toppings:

Chopped fresh cilantro, chopped tomato, sliced avocado, dairy sour cream (optional)
Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl.

Place beef steaks and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.

Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 11 to 13 minutes for medium rare doneness, turning once. (Do not overcook.) Season with salt, as desired. Serve with toppings, if desired.
