Carne Asada Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the flank steak, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let 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.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the carne asada with chopped cilantro, sliced onions, jalapeños, and warm tortillas on the side.
