The Best Carne Asada
  1. Place the flank steak in a glass dish (with a lid) or in a large ziplock bag.

  2. Combine the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Pour over the meat and toss well to coat.

  3. Cover the meat or seal the ziplock bag and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours, for best results. (Minimum marinade time is 2 hours and max marinade time is 6 hours.)

  4. Remove the meat from the marinade and turn the grill to high heat.

  5. Place meat on the hot grill and grill each side for 2 to 3 minutes. If you like your meat well done, grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side. (These cook times are for thinly cut flank steak, if you are using a thick cut flank steak, you will need to cook your steak for longer.)

  6. Remove and wrap with foil to rest for 5 minutes before serving. (Don’t skip this step!)

  7. Slice the meat against the grain in strips and serve as desired in tacos, burritos, over rice and beans, etc.
