Carne Asade with Citrus Flavor

 Carne Asade from https://themodernproper.com/carne-asada

Ingredients

• ¼ cup fresh orange juice (from 1 orange)
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , plus more for greasing
• 8 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more to taste
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 pounds flank or skirt steak

Method

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, chili powder, salt, cumin, pepper, and cayenne.

2. Place the steak in a 9x13-inch baking dish or a plastic zip-top bag. Cover it with the marinade and turn to coat. Let the steak marinate in the fridge for 1 to 4 hours.

3. Heat the grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F).

4. Discard the extra marinade, then season the steak with salt and pepper.

5. Add the steak to the grill and cook for 5 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare.

6. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and serve.

Note: The most precise way to measure the doneness of meat is with an instant-read thermometer. For beef, rare is 125°F; medium-rare is 135°F; medium is 145°F; medium- well is 150°F; and well is 160°F. Medium-rare is our preference, but feel free to cook your steak however you like it best.
