Who is ready for some delicious beef? I certainly am. Carne asada tacos are on my horizon, that’s for sure. The beef is juicy and tender but has more of a smoky char flavor than carnitas. Fire up the grill, or set your oven on broil, it is time for some searing good fun!
First and foremost, carne asada should taste like beef. It should have a wonderful charred, smokey flavor from the grill or broiler and be juicy and rich. Since it is frequently eaten in burritos or tacos, it should be fall-apart tender. However, it should also be substantial enough to be eaten on its own, as you would with a cut of steak. The marinade should also have an excellent flavor balance, with no one component overpowering the others.
You will be able to make this Carne Asada rub seasoning in just a few minutes. Feel free to make an extra batch so you have some on hand when you need it.
You need the ideal fresh side to go with the melt-in-your-mouth steak because carne asada is sometimes can seem heavy and oily. Try these sides for carne asada:
