Instructions

Carne Asada

Place the flank steak in a large plastic bag. Add soy sauce, orange slices, and lime juice. Chop the green onions and cilantro and add them into the bag. Rub the sauce all over the beef. Seal the bag and let it marinate for at least 6 hours.
Remove the meat from the marinade. Pat dry with a paper towel. Remove all excess herbs from the carne asada. Grill the meat until the internal temperature reaches medium-rare at 145 °F.
Hot tip: Don’t have a grill? Snag a grill pan and make carne asada right on your stove top.
Let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice it against the grain and cut it into bite-sized strips.

Serve with your favorite salsa.
