Carne Asada Ingredients

Method

Carne Asada Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Add the flank steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat.

  4. 4

    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 your desired doneness is achieved.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with chopped fresh cilantro on top.
