Carne Asada Recipe

Carne Asada Preparation

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade. Add the flank or skirt steak to the bowl, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to high heat.

3. 3

   Grill the Steak

   Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

4. 4

   Rest and Slice

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the carne asada in warm tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and salsa or pico de gallo.
