Authentic Carne Asada + Street Tacos

Ingredients

• 2 lb Flank Steak
• 1/4 cup lime juice ((from 2-3 limes))
• 1/4 cup orange juice ((no pulp))
• 1/4 cup soy sauce ((regular, not low-sodium)*)
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup chopped cilantro (plus more to serve)
• 7 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt

Steps

1. 1

   In a large shallow bowl or casserole dish, combine the marinade ingredients: lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, olive oil, chopped cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Place Flank Steak into the marinade and turn several times to coat.

2. 2

   Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. Turn the steak once while marinating.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place marinated steak onto the hot grill and cook 3-5 minutes per side, flipping once or until the steak has reached the desired doneness (145˚F for medium-rare and 160˚F for medium doneness).

4. 4

   Remove from the grill, tent with foil, and rest 5-10 minutes then thinly slice against the grain.
