Carne Asada Marinade
Description
Carne Asada Marinade features a blend of olive oil and fresh lime juice as its base, imparting moisture and acidity to tenderize the meat. Freshly chopped cilantro adds herbal brightness, while minced garlic contributes pungent depth. Ground cumin and chili powder give warmth and a mild earthiness, balanced by salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance overall flavor.
The marinade is whisked together and applied generously to steak, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Marinating the beef in the refrigerator for one to four hours allows the flavors to permeate and meat fibers to relax, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful grilled steak.
This marinade suits beef cuts destined for grilling and pairs well with traditional Mexican or Southwestern dishes. Use it to prepare juicy, well-seasoned Carne Asada.
