A vibrant and flavorful marinade perfect for enhancing your carne asada.
Juice the limes and orange into a bowl.
Rolling the citrus fruits before juicing helps release more juice.
Mix the citrus juice with chili powder, oregano, cumin, minced garlic, soy sauce, and finely chopped onion.
Ensure the garlic is minced finely to evenly distribute its flavor.
Pour the marinade into a ziploc bag.
Using a ziploc bag ensures even coating of the meat.
Add the meat to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the meat.
Removing excess air from the bag helps the marinade stay in contact with the meat.
Refrigerate and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Turning the bag occasionally ensures even marination.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Grill the meat to your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer for precise cooking.
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
Serve the carne asada sliced or diced, perfect for tacos or burritos.
Warm tortillas enhance the serving experience.
