How to Make Carne Asada Rub
- In a small bowl, combine all rub ingredients: 2 tablespoons chipotle powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
- Generously rub the mixture onto your carne asada, ensuring even coverage. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for even deeper flavor penetration).
- Season the meat generously with salt to your liking.
- Grill the carne asada to your desired doneness, about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting grilling time based on the thickness of your meat and desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Let the carne asada rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving. Enjoy!
