Best Carne Asada is made of flank or skirt steak soaked in a flavor packed marinade and grilled to juicy perfection! This recipe is so easy, and perfectly tender every time!
In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, worcestershire sauce, garlic, jalapeno, salt, chili powder, cumin, and pepper to combine.
Add the steak to a large zip top plastic bag, or a long shallow dish and cover with the marinade, turning a few times to coat.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
Remove the steak from the bag to a large plate and discard the marinade. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat your grill to high heat. Cook the steak for 5-8 minutes per side, only turning once until seared and cooked to your desired doneness.
Place the steak on a plate and tent with foil. Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
Serve immediately with your favorite tortillas and toppings.
Notes
NOTE ON STEAK TEMPERATURE: You should cook your steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for rare to medium rare. Cook longer for a medium to well done steak. COOK STEAK TO RARE FOR BEST/MOST TENDER RESULTS.
