Carne Asada Recipe

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

2 pounds skirt steak (trimmed of excess fat, recipe note #2)

1 jalapeño (seeded and minced)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (chopped)

juice of 1 orange

juice of 1 lime

juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large glass baking dish whisk together Carne Asada marinade ingredients (jalapeño through black pepper) until combined. Add skirt steak in a single layer, turning to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 8 hours (longer will begin to break down the meat - recipe note #3).

When you're ready to grill: preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill steaks for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once for medium-rare. Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice thinly across the grain and serve.
