Marinate on this.

Carne asada is thinly sliced, marinated steak -- often served in tacos or over rice. Achieve a deeply flavorful, authentic dish with this kit (designed exclusively for Food52!) of all the tools and spices you need -- plus spices to use on chicken if you prefer, and a griddle for heating tortillas. The kit includes the following:

• Two Tanya Ernst Leather Pot Holders: Leather and suede pot holders to handle your griddle and grille (7 1/2" x 7 1/2" each)
• Outset Jackson Verde Tongs: A pair of long bamboo and steel tongs makes flipping and cooking meat easy (18" long)
• Outset Jackson Steel Grille: Set this rectangular steel grille over a grill or flame to cook onions and sliced vegetables -- it's perfect for smaller diced produce that would fall through slats of a larger grill (11" x 17", 2 pounds)
• Enameled Tortilla Griddle: Heat up tortillas on this enameled steel round -- it also works nicely for warming up pre-cooked vegetables (weighs 13.4 ounces)
• Carne Asada Spice: This blend of sea salt, black pepper, garlic, and parsley is the ideal match for steak (2 ounce jar)
• Pollo Asado Spice: For chicken or white meats, use this spice blend of sea salt, black pepper, parsley, garlic, and chicken flavor base (2 ounce jar)
