Carne Asada Ingredients

Method

Carne Asada Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once done, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sliced carne asada topped with chopped onions and cilantro, alongside the spicy red salsa and green salsa.
