    Grilled Marinated Flank Steak with incredible flavor that is great on its own or served with flour tortillas to make tacos!

    Carne Asada is a flank steak marinated overnight in a sauce made with red wine vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of sweetener. Once grilled, the steak is cut into slices and served as desired. The marinade gives the grilled steak so much flavor!

    Carne Asada

    This recipe is delicious. It holds it's own as a main dish, but it also great as a filling in a tortilla or as a topping on a salad. And, it is a great meal to celebrate with Cinco de Mayo!

    Grilling the first steak of the season

    This beef loving girl has been waiting for the opportunity to put a steak on the grill. As soon as the weather warmed up, grilling this Carne Asada was the very first thing I did!

    Grilled meat brings out the most incredible flavors. Then, when you marinate it as I did for this Carne Asada recipe, it puts it over the top delicious. The steak was so tender and had so much flavor.

    What you need to make Carne Asada

    Beef: I recommend skirt steak or flank steak. You can also use sirloin, tenderloin, or rib steak.

    Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce: I prefer coconut aminos. I love the flavor it gives. However, if you use soy sauce that works just as well.

    Red Wine Vinegar: in a pinch, use regular white vinegar, but if you can use red wine vinegar, I highly recommend it.

    Lime Juice: I prefer fresh squeezed lime juice, or you can use a bottled lime juice if that is what you have available.

    Sweetener: If following a low carb diet, I recommend monkfruit. Otherwise, use granulated white sugar

    Avocado Oil or Olive Oil

    Fresh Cilantro: This is used in the marinade and I don't recommend a substitution. If you can't get fresh cilantro, I recommend using 1-2 tablespoons of dried cilantro.
