Your grill was made for this

Want to make the perfect carne asada at home? It starts here with citrus, garlic, ancho, a hit of cumin... the base that makes everything else on this list worth making.

โ€‹CLASSIC CARNE ASADAโ€‹

Sharp Tip:

Citrus marinades are fast, and that's the whole point. But that also works against you if you let the skirt steak sit for more than four hours. The acid in lime and orange juice doesn't just tenderize; it begins to denature the proteins, which means the texture goes a bit pasty before the steak ever hits the grate. Two to four hours is your zone. If you're prepping ahead, mix the marinade, hold it separately, and add the steak last. That one thing can mean the difference between carne asada that slices clean and carne asada that falls apart on the board.

The Carne Asada Seasoning Blend

Mix this once and use it for the next three months. The dry blend of cumin, smoked paprika, garlic, ancho, and a hit of citrus zest lives in a jar on the shelf for use whenever you want. Make a double batch if you know your family loves Taco Tuesday.

An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin, ground together, gives you the fat distribution for a proper sear and the depth of flavor that makes people stop mid-bite and ask what you did differently. This is where burger month...
