Authentic Carne Asada Recipe

[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?

Carne asada is life! I always make sure to marinate it with plenty of lime and cilantro for that zesty kick. Has anyone tried grilling it over charcoal instead of gas? Gives it that perfect smoky flavor!
