Instructions

Marinate the Steak

- Lightly oil the surface with a high-heat oil like avocado oil.
Cook the Carne Asada
- Remove steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Place on the hot griddle and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches:
  - 130°F for medium-rare
  - 140°F for medium
Rest & Slice
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Slice against the grain into thin strips for the most tender meat.
Serve & Enjoy!

Notes

Skirt steak also works well for this recipe.
For extra char, press the steak down onto the griddle while cooking.
