Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs flank steak
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 3 limes juiced (about 6 tablespoons juice)
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk all of the oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Add the steak to a glass or non-reactive baking tray and pour the marinade on top. Ensure both side of the steak are well coated, cover the baking tray with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 to 4 hours. Alternatively, you could marinate in a plastic bag.
- Heat a grill on medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for another 5 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the carne asada at an angle against the grain. From there, you can further chop the carne asada into smaller pieces, if you'd like.
Notes
- I think carne asada is best when cooked on an outdoor grill. But if you're without one (as I currently am) this reversible grill/griddle is great for your stovetop.
- Remember to double-check the angle of the grain before cooking. Then, it's easy to determine how to slice against the grain once it's done.
