How to Make Arrachera Beef Marinade
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place 1.5 lbs flank steak in a large resealable zip-top bag.
- Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 4-6 hours, turning the bag occasionally to distribute the marinade evenly.
- Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
- Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.
- Grill or pan-fry the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious homemade Arrachera!
