Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar.
- Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to 6 months.
Notes
- This recipe makes 12 tablespoons of seasoning mix. I recommend using 1 ½ tablespoons of seasoning per pound of steak for either a dry rub or marinade.
- To use it as a dry rub, rub a 2 pound skirt steak with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3 tablespoons carne asada seasoning. Grill over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
- To make a marinade, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice and ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice with 3 tablespoons carne asada seasoning. Marinate up to 2 pounds of steak for anywhere between 30 minutes and 8 hours. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side.
- To make a smoky seasoning, replace the chili powder with chipotle pepper powder, and replace the paprika with smoked paprika.
- To make a spicy seasoning, add 1-3 teaspoons of cayenne pepper.
- This recipe is gluten free, and contains no added sugar, making it perfect for a whole30 or keto diet.
