The Best Carne Asada Recipe

June 11, 2015 by Eve | Last Modified: July 28, 2022

I grew up in Southern California and lived on Mexican food. One of my favorite was carne asada. It could be purchased from any grocery store.

When I moved to a small town in Colorado, I found that no store provide it and people always end up asking me “what is Carne Asada”?

Since I could no longer buy it from the store, I made it my mission to come up with the best ever carne asada recipe.

Step 1. Combine all the ingredients into a glass bowl except the flank steak.

Step 2. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined. Put a small amount of marinade in a separate bowl to pour over the meat after it is cooked.

Meat Tenderizer

Step 3. Now it is time for the flank steak; set the marinade to the side. Get out a meat tenderizer. If you don’t have a meat tenderizer you can also use a rubber mallet or anything with a flat surface.

Step 4. Cut the steak into equal sections (it is easier to flatten in smaller sections).

Step 5. Place one section of meat into a large ziploc bag. Work on a section of your counter that is sturdy, as you will be using a lot of force to get that meat flat.

Step 6. Pound the meat until it is 1/8″ – 1/4″ thick. Take it out of the bag and place directly into the marinade. (You can now see why I cut the meat into small sections).

Step 7. After all the meat is submerged in the marinade, cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight. It as better taste the next day. (promise)

Step 8. Give the barbecue grill a clean. Place the carne asada on the grill over medium heat. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side.

Step 9. Finally, enjoy the carne asada as is or eat like a taco by placing the meat into a flour tortilla.

Everyone is sure to think that this is the best carne asada that they have ever eaten.
