    How to Marinate Carne Asada

    Marinating carne asada is so simple! First you coat the flank steak with the Spicekick Taco Seasoning Mix. Place the steak in a shallow container and sprinkle on the lime and orange juice. Simply turn the meat a few times to coat it well. Then, put it in the refrigerator for 2-5 hours.

     

    How Long to Grill Carne Asada

    Preheat the grill on medium heat. Grill the steak on both sides until medium rare. This should be about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. After removing from the grill, allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes.

     

    How to Cut Carne Asada

    When it’s time to cut the meat, you will be slicing “against the grain”. Did you know that those fine lines that you see in the steak is known as the grain, which are muscle fibers? By cutting at a 90-degree angle of the lines in the muscle you will ensure a tender piece of meat.
