Our Easy Carne Asada Recipe
Juicy carne asada is one of our very favorite summertime dinners. Just marinate some flank steak in our delicious carne asada marinade, fire up the grill, and dinner’s nearly done. Just add some Chips, Guacamole, Pico De Gallo and Margaritas or Ranch Water, and you’ve got yourself a party, even if it’s just a party for two. Add some Homemade Tortillas to the mix and make Carne Asada Tacos with the grilled steak, or enjoy it over a bed of lettuce or Cilantro Lime Rice.
How To Store + Tips For Making The Best Carne Asada
Skirt steak and flank steak alike should be at a perfect medium-rare when they reach 135°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Cut the marinated grilled steak against the grain to ensure that every bite of carne asada is tender and juicy. Skirt steak and even flank steak can be tough if they’re not marinated and cut thinly against the grain.
Leftover carne asada can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days (and will be delicious!).
