Preparation
- Slice 1.5 lbs of flank steak against the grain into thin strips, then combine orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.
- Place the steak strips into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Cooking
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the marinated steak in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the meat is browned and cooked to your desired doneness, then remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving
- Serve the flavorful Carne Asada immediately with your favorite sides like warm tortillas, rice, beans, or a fresh salsa for a complete meal.
Notes
For extra tenderness, marinate the steak overnight. Adjust spice levels to your preference and consider adding a pinch of oregano to the marinade for an authentic touch.
