I got this carne asada recipe from my friend’s mother in Phoenix. The recipe will marinate 5 to 6 pounds of meat and can be halved or doubled. Serve this with flour tortillas and salsa.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds beef skirt steak, thinly sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1 orange, sliced
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 2/3 cup lime juice
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
Step 1
Place beef in a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 2
Combine water, orange slices, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, lime slices, cilantro, oil, salt, garlic, white pepper, black pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and cloves in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour marinade on top of beef and seal the bag.
Step 3
Marinate beef in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 5
Grill beef in the preheated grill over direct heat until firm and slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
