Frequently Asked Questions:
What type of meat can I use for Carne Asada?
While skirt steak is commonly used for Carne Asada due to its rich flavor and texture, you could also use other types of beef such as flank steak or ribeye.
Each cut of meat will provide a slightly different flavor and texture.
How long should I marinate the meat?
You should marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, but marinating overnight will allow the flavors to penetrate more deeply into the meat.
Be careful not to marinate for too long though, as the acidity from the marinade can start to break down the meat and make it mushy.
What’s the best way to cook Carne Asada on a grill?
For the best results, preheat your grill on high heat. This will help sear the meat quickly, locking in the juices.
Cook each side until it’s charred to your liking, usually about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.
