Easy Carne Asada uses flank steak marinated in a mix of soy sauce, fresh cilantro, orange, lime juices, and green onions. The marinade softly tenderizes the beef while imparting a balance of citrus brightness and savory depth. After marinating for several hours, the steak is grilled to medium doneness, developing a golden exterior. This beef is typically served freshly grilled, often wrapped in tortillas with avocado and salsa, offering a flavorful and versatile main protein.
