Grilled Carne Asada
Juicy, tender, and packed with bold flavors, this Carne Asada is perfect for tacos, burritos, or served straight off the grill with lime and jalapeños!
Ingredients
2 lbs flank or skirt steak
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 jalapeños, sliced (optional garnish)
Lime wedges for serving
Directions
Marinate the steak: In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and cilantro. Add the steak, making sure it’s fully coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400–450°F).
Grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until you reach your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
Rest and slice: Let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain to keep it tender.
Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro, jalapeño slices, and lime wedges. Serve with tortillas, rice, or roasted veggies!
