Carne Asada Ingredients

Method

Carne Asada Preparation

1

Marinate the Steak

In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and ensure it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.

2

Grill the Steak

Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

3

Rest and Slice

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

4

Prepare Tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

5

Assemble and Serve

Serve the sliced carne asada in warm tortillas, topped with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and salsa. Enjoy!
