Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank or skirt steak, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tacos

    While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side. Slice the grilled steak into thin strips.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place the sliced steak on the warmed tortillas. Top with diced onions and chopped cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the carne asada tacos with salsa fresca on the side.
