Hey! For carne asada, you’ll know the marinade is right when the meat looks well-coated and you can smell the flavors soaking in. After a few hours, or ideally overnight, the meat should feel a little tender, and the color will deepen from the marinade. If it’s not too tough when you press it, you're good to go! Just make sure it’s not sitting in the marinade too long, or it can become mushy. Enjoy grilling!
