Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 4 Lime wedges
Instructions
In a bowl, prepare the marinade by combining orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cilantro, ground black pepper, cumin, and paprika.
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
Assemble the tacos by placing slices of carne asada in each tortilla and topping with diced onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
