-
In a small bowl, whisk together all the carne asada marinade ingredients (everything except the steak).
-
Place the steaks in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks and turn to coat.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours. (The meat may get mushy if you marinate for longer.)
-
If you have time, remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. (This is optional, but will help the meat cook more evenly.)
-
Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat for at least 10 minutes, or a grill pan (or cast iron skillet) on the stovetop for at least 2-3 minutes.
-
Place the steak(s) on the grill over direct heat, or onto the grill pan or skillet on the stove. Cook for 2 minutes per side for rare, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, 5-6 minutes per side for medium, 7-8 minutes per side for medium-well, or 9-10 minutes per side for well done. (Medium-rare is recommended for carne asada.) For best results, use a probe thermometer or meat thermometer to cook to 120 degrees F for rare, 130 degrees F for medium-rare, 140 degrees F for medium, 150 degrees F for medium-well, or 160 degrees F for well done.
-
Rest for 5 minutes. (The internal temperature will rise an additional 5 degrees.)
-
Slice the carne asada very thinly against the grain.
