Carne Asada Marinade

🔥 Carne Asada: A Bold Ode to Mexican Flavor and Tradition
Carne Asada is more than just grilled meat—it’s a time-honored gathering filled with flavor, fire, and tradition. Every juicy bite carries the warmth of family, the spark of community, and a marinade that brings bold, citrusy depth with every sizzle.


🌿 Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • Orange juice – Âľ cup
  • Lemon juice – ½ cup
  • Lime juice – â…“ cup
  • Soy sauce – ½ cup
  • Chopped cilantro – 1 bunch
  • Minced garlic – 4 cloves
  • Chili powder – 1 tbsp
  • Cumin – 1 tbsp
  • Paprika – 1 tbsp
  • Black pepper – 1 tbsp
  • Chopped chipotle pepper (canned) – 1 tsp
  • Olive oil – ½ cup
  • Dried oregano – 1 tsp

For the Steak

  • Flank steak – 3 lbs

đź§„ Instructions

Mix the Marinade
Combine citrus juices, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic, chipotle, and spices in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil last, until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.

Save a Splash
Reserve 1 cup of the marinade, cover it, and chill in the fridge. This becomes a delicious drizzle when serving.

Prepare the Steak
Tenderize the flank steak to ÂĽ-inch thick using a meat mallet. Lightly pierce it with a fork to help soak up the flavors.

Soak in the Flavor
Place the steak in the marinade and ensure it’s well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours to infuse every fiber with flavor.

Grill to Perfection
Heat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates, remove the steak from the marinade (discard the used marinade), and cook for 5 minutes per side or until desired doneness.

Slice and Finish
Cut the steak thinly against the grain. Arrange on a serving plate and spoon over the reserved marinade for an extra punch of flavor.

Serve & Savor
Pair with soft tortillas, smoky grilled veggies, or classic guacamole. Get ready for compliments, because this dish speaks for itself.


🔥 A celebration on the grill, Carne Asada turns a meal into a memory.
