This is the same marinade I use when making my amazing grilled carne asada, and it turns out incredible every time! 🥘 Ingredients You should be able to grab everything with a quick run to the store. I prefer using fresh lemons and limes, but if you only have bottled juice on hand that’s okay to use as well.

Carne Asada Marinade Orange Juice - ¾ cup.Olive Oil - ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil.Lime Juice - ¼ cup lime juice (juice from 2 fresh limes).Lemon Juice - 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (juice from 1 fresh lemon).Garlic - 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic (about 4 cloves, crushed)Fresh Cilantro - 1 cup of chopped fresh cilantro.Salt & Pepper - ½ a teaspoon each of salt & pepper.Cumin - 1 teaspoon.Jalapeno - 1 jalapeno minced. Remove seeds for milder flavor if desired.White Vinegar - 3 tablespoons. Carne Asada (Grilled, Seared, or Broiled) Flank Steak - 2 pounds of flank or skirt steak (*see note). Be sure to see the recipe card below for ingredients, amounts & instructions! 🔪 How To Make Carne Asada Marinade Making the marinade itself is super easy, just mix all the ingredients and voila! You will need either a bowl with some plastic wrap or a gallon-sized Ziploc storage bag.

Mix Marinade Ingredients Make the marinade. In a large mixing bowl or large Ziplock bag, combine all of the marinade ingredients (¼ cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 cup fresh cilantro, ½ teaspoon each of salt & pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 jalapeno, and 3 tablespoons white vinegar). Stir to combine or seal the bag and squeeze gently until the ingredients have mixed. Marinate A Great Beef Cut Add meat. Put 2 pounds of flank or skirt steak (*see note) into the marinade. If using a bowl, flip the steak so it has marinade on both sides and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. If using a bag, squeeze it so the marinade spreads and is touching all parts of the steak, then seal it tight.Marinate. Put your bowl or bag of marinade with the meat into the fridge. The minimum recommended time to marinate any meat is 30 minutes. However, this is not enough time for the marinade to truly permeate the meat. I recommend a minimum of 2 hours, but overnight is ideal for the best flavor. Cook, Rest & Serve Cook. After marinating, cook your carne asada until it reaches your desired level of doneness. It is best grilled, but can also be pan-seared or broiled in the oven.Serve. Remove the meat from heat and transfer it to a cutting board to rest. Cover it loosely with a piece of foil and let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve. Serve your carne asada with some classic Mexican side dishes like elotes or fresh pico de gallo. You could even make some homemade flour tortillas and use them to build tacos!

If you want to go all out, finish everything off with one of these incredible Mexican desserts. 💭 Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes Though I generally choose skirt or flank steak for my carne asada, you could use other cuts such as flap, hanger, or top round (London broil).Always discard of any marinade that has been in contact with raw meat. It should not be reused because it could contain harmful bacteria. Do not marinate your carne asada for longer than 24 hours. The fibrous tissues in the meat will begin to break down and could result in an undesirable texture. 🥡 Storing If making your marinade in advance, keep it tightly sealed and refrigerated. Use within 3 days. The marinade can be frozen to use later. Place it in a heavy-duty freezer bag, remove as much air as possible, seal it tightly, and freeze. Use within 3 months. If you plan on freezing your steaks, they may be frozen in the marinade so long as you cook them within 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight then cook as directed. ❓ Is Carne Asada Marinade Spicy? The only potentially spicy ingredient in this marinade is the jalapeno. Without seeds and the soft ribs on the inside, they are generally pretty mild. However, if you prefer spice leave them in! ❓ Can You Over Marinate Carne Asada? You can over marinate any meat and carne asada is no exception. This marinade in particular is very acidic due to the citrus. Marinating your meat more than 24 hours is not a good idea because the acid will begin to break down the tissues in the meat and will give it an undesirable texture. ❓ Can I Use Carne Asada Marinade On Chicken? Sure! If you like the taste of the marinade you can use it on whatever you like! Pork, chicken, fish, tofu, it would be good on many different proteins! 😋 More Marinades & Seasonings Steak MarinadeLemon Pepper Chicken MarinadePesto Chicken MarinadeCajun SeasoningBeef Stew SeasoningHoney Mustard Chicken Marinade
