Cómo preparar Carne Asada The Real Deal
- In a large ziploc bag, combine 12 oz Mexican beer, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 4 cloves minced garlic.
- Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, erring on the saltier side.
- Add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) and 1 tbsp achiote powder (optional). Achiote adds a beautiful color and subtle earthy flavor.
- Seal the ziploc bag tightly and shake or knead vigorously to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Add 1.5 lbs flank steak to the bag, seal, and massage the marinade into the meat, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning and shaking the bag occasionally to redistribute the marinade.
- While the meat marinates, enjoy the rest of your beer!
- Preheat your grill to high heat.
- Place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill. Sear for 4 minutes per side for medium-well, adjusting cooking time to achieve your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Once rested, slice the steak thinly (about 1/2 inch) against the grain.
- Serve immediately with warm corn or flour tortillas, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and your favorite sides like Mexican rice and beans. (See my separate recipe for Mexican rice!)
