Carne Asada
"Carne asada" - the term rings clear in Spanish, meaning roasted beef—'carne' for beef and 'asada' for roasted. Yet, in the breadth of Mexico, tradition bends the meaning. Here, the carne asada is not roasted in the shadows of an oven but grilled under the open sky, on a bed of charcoal that speaks of ancient fires.
