Ingredients

  • 2 lb of flank or skirt steak

  • 3 tsp La Cocina Carne Asada Seasoning

  • ¼ cup Orange Juice

  • 2 tsp Lime Juice

  • 2 tsp neutral oil

  • 3 cloves Minced Garlic

  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce (optional)

Intructions

  1. Prep the steak: Pat steak dry. Trim excess silver skin so seasoning penetrates evenly.

  2. Build the marinade: Whisk orange juice, lime juice, oil, garlic, soy sauce, and La Cocina Carne Asada Seasoning until combined.

  3. Marinate: Coat steak fully and marinate 2–6 hours. Flip halfway for even absorption.

  4. Preheat grill: Heat BBQ to high (500°F). You want a ripping-hot grate for fast sear + char.

  5. Grill the meat: Sear 4–6 min per side depending on thickness. Aim for medium‑rare to medium for tenderness.

  6. Rest the steak: Let rest 8–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

  7. Serve: Use in tacos, nacho fries, or quesadillas.
