How to Make Tequila Carne Asada Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, orange juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the carne asada (steak, chicken, or pork) to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  6. Grill or pan-fry the meat to your desired level of doneness. For steak, aim for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  7. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
