Ranch-Rubbed Carne Asada

This simple steak dish is cooked whole and sliced thin for everything from salad to tacos. Most often associated with Mexican cuisine, the term refers not only to the dish but to the experience of making this recipe. Variations are many, though we love ours simply prepared with a dusting of ranch seasoning and fresh cracked black pepper.
