Carne Asada

Carne Asada - a must make Mexican recipe! Flank (or skirt steak) is marinated in a fresh, savory marinade that's rich in spices, herbs and bright citrus flavor. Then it's cooked over a hot grill to lend that perfect crave-able charred flavor to the exterior of the meat.Overhead image of sliced carne asada on an oval white serving platter with cilantro, limes and tortillas on the side.

What is Carne Asada?

Carne Asada is a Mexican dish made with marinated beef (using less expensive cuts of steak such as skirt, flank, tenderloin, or rib) and it's usually cooked on a grill or in a heavy skillet.

Most frequently it's served alone or in tacos but can also be added to many various dishes (see ideas below).

Personally, it's one of my favorite things to order when eating out at Mexican restaurants, but of course I also love to make it at home.

This recipe is the best blend I've come up with, with a little of this and a handful of that. And together it creates one perfectly harmonious blend of flavors. Chef's kiss on this one!
