Description

Traditional Mexican carne asada meets modern convenience in this flavourful dish that combines perfectly seasoned grilled beef with aromatic rice. The Ninja Speedi's dual-cooking capability allows the meat to develop a delicious crust while the rice steams below.

Note

Extra Tips: For best results, slice the meat against the grain and ensure pieces are similar in thickness for even cooking.

Don't overcrowd the crisping tray as this can lead to steaming rather than proper browning. If cooking larger quantities, work in batches.

The rice can be enhanced with chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Savory Aromas Linger Last

Throughout the cooking process, your kitchen will fill with layers of mouthwatering aromas that don't quickly fade.

You'll first notice the sweet, smoky scent of charred peppers mingling with the savory notes of marinated beef. As the meat sizzles on the hot surface, the garlic and citrus marinades release their essences into the air, creating an irresistible combination that'll have your family peeking into the kitchen.

The chipotle rice adds another dimension to this aromatic symphony, with its earthy undertones and subtle heat wafting through your home. You'll catch whiffs of toasted cumin and oregano, while the lime's zesty fragrance cuts through the rich, meaty scents.

These aromas tend to linger for hours, a pleasant reminder of the meal you've prepared.

Don't be surprised if your neighbours start finding excuses to drop by - these enticing smells have a way of drifting through open windows and drawing people in. You might want to make extra, just in case!

The best part is that these memorable scents will likely spark cravings for days to come.
