Cooking Tips

• For best results, let the steak marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• Make sure to pat the steak dry before cooking to ensure a nice sear and prevent steaming.
• To achieve a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 15 minutes in the oven. Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover carne asada can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
• Serve the carne asada as a main dish with rice, beans, and tortillas, or use it as a filling for tacos, burritos, or salads.
