The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/3 cup lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons peeled fresh garlic cloves, minced

Instruction

  • Combine all ingredients (except steak) in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Place meat in a gallon-sized freezer bag, in the bottom of a shallow baking dish, or a non-reactive (plastic or glass) storage container with a lid.
  • Pour carne asada marinade on top of the meat, cover dish or close bag, and marinate overnight up to 48 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Take the steak from the marinade. Toss the leftover marinade.

  • Cut cooked meat into strips.
