carne asada marinade

This tender Carne Asada recipe is flavorful and proof that sometimes all you need is a few simple ingredients to make a delicious meal!

Authentic Carne Asada Recipe

Orange juice (no pulp)

Olive oil

Fresh chopped cilantro

limes

lemon

Tablespoons White wine vinegar

Teaspoon Cumin

Teaspoon Salt

Teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

Jalapeno pepper, (seeded and diced)

garlic, (minced)

Flank steak

In a large mixing bowl combine orange juice, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper, jalapeno, and garlic; whisk until well combined.

Reserve ⅓ cup of the marinade; cover the rest and refrigerate.

Combine remaining marinade and steak in a large resealable freezer bag; seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Preheat grill to HIGH heat.

Remove steak from marinade and lightly pat dry with paper towels.

Add steak to the preheated grill and cook for another 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Note that flank steak tastes best when cooked to rare or medium rare because it&#039;s a lean cut of steak.

Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice steak against the grain, garnish with reserved cilantro mixture, and serve.

Heat a large cast iron skillet (preferably cast iron grill pan) over high heat until hot.  Add steak to the skillet and cook for  6 to 7 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness.

Stovetop Method

125°F to 130°F internal temperature for RARE

135°F to 140°F internal temperature for MEDIUM RARE

145°F to 150°F internal temperature for MEDIUM to MEDIUM WELL

150°F internal temperature for WELL DONE

The FDA recommends that steak be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.

A delicious Carne Asada recipe made from marinated flank or skirt steak and cooked on the grill. Juicy, tender and a great addition to any Mexican meal!

Carne Asada Recipe

jalapeño, (seeded and minced)

garlic, (minced (about 2 teaspoons))

cilantro

olive oil

juice of 1 orange ((about 1/4 cup of juice))

juice of 1 lime ((about 2 tablespoons of juice))

white wine vinegar

chili powder

coarse salt, (plus more for grilling)

cumin

oregano

ancho chili powder

black pepper, (plus more for grilling)

flank steak

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the steak.&nbsp;

Place the steak in a large baking dish or gallon size ziplock bag and pour the marinade on top. Turn the steak a few times until it&#x27;s completely coated with the marinade and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. Do not marinate for longer than 8 hours because the meat will start to break down and get mushy. 

Remove steak from marinade and discard any excess marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towels and drizzle with a touch of olive oil, enough to coat each side. Season lightly with coarse salt and black pepper on both sides.

Preheat grill for direct heat grilling at medium-high heat (400-450°F). Grill steaks with the lid closed for 4-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Skirt steak will be closer to 4 minutes per side and flank steak will be closer to 6-8 minutes per side.

Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes.&nbsp;Slice thinly against the grain and serve with mexican rice, refried beans and avocado salad.

This carne asada marinade is packed with all the essential Mexican flavors! Just mix these simple ingredients together in a mixing bowl for the most flavorful steak.
