Honduran Carne Asada is a marinated flank or skirt steak and grilled on the BBQ, a favorite pasttime of Honduran families. This marinade has beautiful citrus notes.  It calls for bitter orange and if you can not find them fresh, (they are not easy to find here in the US) then you can do one of two things, use a bottle version called naranja agria which means bitter orange in Spanish you can find in your local Latin market.  It will likely be from concentrate but is an okay substitute for the real thing.  The other possibility is to use a combination of fresh orange juice with lime juice, either way you will love the citrus flavor in this carne asada.  This is the main attraction on the typical plate (the national dish of Honduras).  Eat it with a little chimol or pico de gallo on top of the meat for a real treat!
