Carne Asada Recipe

Mix the Marinade

In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Add Cilantro

Stir in the chopped cilantro into the marinade mixture.

Marinate the Steak

Place the flank or skirt steak into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

Grill the Steak

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

Rest the Steak

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Slice the Steak

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Serve with Toppings

Serve the sliced carne asada with optional toppings such as diced onions, sliced jalapeños, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and sliced avocados.
