Carne Asada Tacos

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb flank or skirt steak
• 0.33 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 2 limes (juiced)
• 0.25 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp cumin
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 0.5 tbsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl or large resealable bag, combine the cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.

2. 2

   Add the steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, though longer is preferred for deeper flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat a grill or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Cook the steak until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (medium-rare).

5. 5

   Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

6. 6

   Slice the steak against the grain, then cut into small, bite-sized pieces for tacos.

Notes

For best results, marinate for at least 2 hours. Serve with warm corn tortillas, diced onions, and extra cilantro.
