1
Marinate the Steak
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank or skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat.
3
Grill the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place it on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
4
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
5
Serve
Serve the carne asada warm, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro. Enjoy with tortillas and your choice of toppings!
