Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, minced jalapeño, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in 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, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the flank steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the carne asada against the grain into thin strips. Serve with toppings such as sliced avocado, chopped onion, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. Add lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
