Tacos De Carne Asada in Diablo Sauce

Ok this is one of my favorite recipes, and one I love to entertain with. It's a little bit of prep, but all things you can do ahead of time. It tastes so good, the soy sauce may make you weary...but TRUST ME it’s add a great Umami flavor. Just try it!

  Ingredients 
3 lb piece of london broil or flank steak 
1/4 cup of water 
1 tbs of cornstarch 
1 lime cut in to edges 
1 white onion diced 
1 bunch of cilantro chopped 
I prefer soft corn tortillas, my husband prefers flour (I would try both if you haven't had this before)

  Marinade:
1/3 cup of white vinegar 
1/4 cup of soy sauce 
4 cloves of minced garlic (or 4 teaspoons of pre-minced jarred garlic 
3 limes juiced 
1/2 cup of olive oil or vegetable oil 
1 tsp of salt 
1 tsp cumin 
1 1/2 tsp black pepper 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp chili powder 
1 tsp oregano (dried is ok for this) 
1 tsp paprika 
1 tablespoon if crushed red pepper flakes 

 The ingredient list may be deceiving, however you should have most of these things in yous spice cabinet.
1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a container, stir well.   
2. Add meat and turn in marinade to coat well. 
3. Refrigerate overnight, or AT LEAST 8 hours. 
4. Dice meat in to chunks using a sharp knife and cutting board. Put meat in to a medium pan. Stir frequently and remove meat from pan when cooked. 
5. Put all leftover marinade in to skillet and cook till boiling. 6. Dissolve 1 tbsp of cornstarch in to 1/4 cup of water and add to the boiling marinade. 
 7. Let it boil and thicken, then add your meat back to the pan and stir to coat well. ***I use warmed soft corn and flour tortillas to serve these tacos up. Top with just a little bit of diced onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Heating directions are on the package of the tortillas.
