Carne Asada Recipe
A trifecta of citrus juices makes this grilled Carne Asada especially succulent!
Ingredients
6 servings
Scaled from 6 servings
- 2 pounds skirt steak (trimmed of excess fat (recipe note #2)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and minced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped)
- juice of 1 orange
- juice of 1 lime
- juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
In a large glass baking dish whisk together Carne Asada marinade ingredients (jalapeño through black pepper) until combined. Add skirt steak in a single layer, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 8 hours (longer will begin to break down the meat - recipe note #3).
-
When you're ready to grill: preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill steaks for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once for medium-rare. Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
-
Slice thinly across the grain and serve.
