Carne Asada

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the Steak

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble Tacos

    Warm corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet. Place a few slices of steak on each tortilla, and top with your choice of toppings such as diced onions, chopped cilantro, salsa, or avocado.
