Tips for the Perfect Carne Asada.
Choose the Right Cut: Flank steak or skirt steak is ideal for carne asada due to their texture and flavor.
Marinate Longer: For the best results, marinate the beef overnight to ensure it absorbs all the delicious flavors.
Grill Hot and Fast: Cooking over high heat gives the meat a nice char while keeping it tender and juicy inside.
Rest Before Slicing: Allowing the meat to rest before slicing helps retain its juices and makes for a more flavorful dish.
What to Serve with Your Carne Asada.
Carne asada pairs perfectly with a variety of Mexican sides such as grilled corn, Mexican rice, frijoles charros, corn or flour tortillas, and you can’t forget a good salsa and cold cerveza.

How lbs of meat is this recipe good for
I would say 6-7 pounds
Your carne asada recipe does not have how many pounds of meat. Can you please tell me how much meat do you use for this recipe. Thank you
I see what you mean. The recipe is for the marinade. It would be good to give a suggestion on how much this marinade will cover in terms of pounds of meat. I’d say easily 5 to 8 pounds of beef.
