Description

This carne asada is the perfect summertime grilling recipe!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • Optional- 1 jalapeno, diced (omit for AIP)
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1.5 lb flank steak

To serve

  • Avocado
  • Red onion
  • Cilantro
  • Cauliflower rice for burrito bowls
  • Tortillas (for non-whole30 )

Instructions

  1. Combine the orange juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, avocado oil, garlic, herbs, and spices and mix well to combine.
  2. Add the marinade to a large bag or a deep bowl and add the flank steak, making sure that the steak is fully covered in the marinade. Place in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours. Remove the steak from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature.
  3. Prepare the grill (or grill pan) by setting to medium-high heat. Coat lightly with avocado oil.
  4. Once the grill is hot, add the flank steak to the grill and grill for about 5-8 minutes on each side. The internal temperature should read 145-155F for a medium steak.
  5. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing very thin against the grain.
  6. Serve as tacos, or burrito bowls!
