Ingredients
- 2 lbs of skirt steak, flank steak or pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch thick steaks
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 large limes, juiced
- ½ cup orange juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add the steaks to a large zip lock bag.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together to make the marinade.
- Add the marinade to the zip lock bag. Press most of the air out and zip the bag closed. Massage the bag to coat both sides of the steaks. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or overnight.
- When you are ready to make your carne asada, heat your grill on medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for approximately 8 minutes on each side. Thicker pieces may take longer to cook. Aim for an internal temperature of 160° F if you are using pork.
- Remove the carne asada to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the carne asada at an angle against the grain.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Carne asada is best cooked on a grill but if you don't have a grill you can cook it in a cast iron skillet or a heavy frying pan.
- You can use pork shoulder, flank steak, or skirt steak.
- You can marinate your carne asada in a bowl. Just make sure to cover it.
