How To Make Carne Asada | Claudia Regalado

flank steak

🥗Healthier: sirloin steak

💰Cheaper: chuck steak

Sirloin is leaner and more affordable than flank steak.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: fresh lemon juice

💰Cheaper: bottled lemon juice

Bottled lemon juice is more convenient and often cheaper.

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: bell pepper

💰Cheaper: banana pepper

Banana peppers provide mild heat at a lower cost.

Cut the small white onion into little rings and break them apart into a bowl.

Juice the lime and orange into a mixing bowl.

Add black pepper, salt, onion powder, California chili powder, chili powder, oregano, cumin, and minced garlic to the bowl.

Pour in the white wine vinegar and olive oil, and mix everything together.

Add the chopped cilantro and onions to the marinade mixture.

Place the flank steak into the marinade and ensure it is well coated.

Cover and refrigerate the marinated steak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

After marinating for 8 hours, remove the steak from the refrigerator and mix it again.

Preheat the grill and cook the steak for about 5-6 minutes on each side, flipping after 5 minutes.

After grilling, place the steak on a tray, cover with foil, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
