This mouth-watering, tender and juicy Carne Asada recipe is bursting with vibrant citrus flavors and savory spices.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak trimmed of excess fat
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup orange juice fresh
- ¼ cup lime juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except for the steak into a mixing bowl.
- Whisk until well combined.
- Add the flank steak to a food storage container, then pour the marinade over the top. Place the lid on and shake, making sure all parts of the meat are coated in the marinade.
- Marinate for 2-4 hours, no longer than 4 hours otherwise the citrus will start to cook the steak and affect the texture.
- Allow the steak to sit at room temperature 20-30 minutes before grilling it. This helps to ensure even cooking throughout the steak.
- Preheat your grill and cook the steak for 8-10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and the level of doneness that you prefer. I grilled mine to medium rare and pulled it off at 125°F when checked with a meat thermometer. See the temperatures/degrees of doneness chart in the post for your preference.
- Slice into thin strips against the grain of the steak. Slicing against the grain will give you the most tender pieces. Serve in tacos, over a salad or with your favorite low carb sides.
Notes
- If you can't find flank steak, you can use skirt steak instead.
