[clintonbee]

I've just tried this amazing carne asada recipe, and it's too good not to share. Perfect for a summer BBQ or a cozy dinner, it's got that authentic flavor that transports you straight to Mexico. Let's dive in!

Ingredients:​

• 2 pounds flank or skirt steak
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeño, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:​

1. Marinate the Steak:
   • In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Place the steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
2. Prepare the Grill:
   • Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are hot and glowing.
3. Grill the Steak:
   • Remove the steak from the marinade and let the excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is fantastic for carne asada).
4. Rest and Slice:
   • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices. Then, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the carne asada with warm tortillas, fresh salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges. It’s perfect for tacos or just on its own with a side of rice and beans.

Conclusion:​

This carne asada recipe is a real crowd-pleaser, bursting with flavor and incredibly easy to make. The marinade does all the heavy lifting, leaving you with tender, juicy steak that's perfect for any occasion. Give it a try, and let the deliciousness speak for itself!

Sounds amazing! I think using a mix of lime juice, cilantro, and spices is key for authenticity though. What’s your marinade like?
