Carne Asada Recipe

Preparation and Grilling

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic (to taste), cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Steak

   Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or 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.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

4. 4

   Grill the Steak

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

5. 5

   Rest and Slice

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Cut against the grain into thin strips.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the sliced steak before serving. Serve with tortillas, salsa, and your favorite toppings.
