Citrus-Infused Carne Asada Marinade

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Citrus-Infused Carne Asada Marinade.

1. Step 1

   Begin by taking a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and adding sliced onion, soy sauce, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, crushed garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, crushed coriander seeds, hot pepper sauce, chopped chipotle pepper, ground black pepper, and white sugar.

2. Step 2

   Once all the ingredients are in, introduce the flank steak to the bag, seal it tightly, and give it a gentle massage to ensure the marinade envelops the meat.

3. Step 3

   Place the bag in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, turning it occasionally to guarantee an even infusion of flavors.

4. Step 4

   When you're ready to cook, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat.

5. Step 5

   Remove the steak from the marinade and add it to the pan, along with the marinade itself.

6. Step 6

   Sear the steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, cooking until it reaches a perfect medium-rare to medium doneness, which is indicated by an instant-read thermometer reading between 130 to 140 degrees F.

7. Step 7

   Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as the steak cooks, and get ready for a delicious meal that’s bursting with flavor.
