Citrus Carne Asada Marinade
25
judy2304
"I have used this recipe for a number of years, and most often marinate enough steak for a few meals. After the marinade time, the steak can be frozen in meal-sized portions for quick meals later. The flavor of this carne asada is much better, and the meat much more tender, than any I have had in Mexican restaurants. If cut in strips, this meat also works very well for fajitas. Serve with tortillas, Mexican rice, and beans."

This is awesome. Once I got to marinade mixed up, I wanted to drink it. The aroma is mouthwatering. The next time, I will add more onion, though. One medium onion simply wasn’t enough. I used ha...

I only had hours to marinate, however it still was delicious. I added just a little more chipotle for a bit more kick. I will make again.

This was delicious, but a bit too heavy on the chile powder for me personally. I will cut it in half next time I make these. Otherwise, this was a wonderful meal and even my 5 year old devoured ...
