Easy Carne Asada Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• ¼ cup olive oil
• Juice from 2 large oranges

  about a ¾ cup
• Juice from 2 limes
• 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

  apple cider vinegar is good, too
• 1 small onion

  chopped
• 1-2 serrano peppers

  minced (or use jalapeno peppers for a milder version)
• 4 cloves garlic

  minced
• ¼ - ½ cup chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon ancho powder

  optional, but I LOVE it
• 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 3 pound skirt or flank steak

  for marinating

Instructions

• 1 Whisk all of the marinade ingredients in a medium sized bowl until well
  combined.
• 2 Alternatively, you can process the ingredients in a food processor or blender
  until smooth.
• 3 To use the marinade, add it to a large sealable bag with the steak and rub it
  thoroughly into the meat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or
  overnight for more flavor penetration.
• 4 Discard the marinade, then grill the marinated steak on the grill for 8-10
  minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. 135 degrees F is medium-rare.
  Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain and serve it
  up.
