  • 2 pounds skirt steak trimmed of excess fat

Carne Asada Marinade 

  • 1 jalapeño seeded and minced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced 
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaveschopped 
  • juice of 1 orange 
  • juice of 1 lime 
  • juice of 1 lemon 
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
  • 1/3 cup olive oil 
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin 
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

Instructions 

In a large glass baking dish whisk together Cane Asada marinade ingredients until combined, jalapeño through black pepper. Add skirt steak in a single layer, turning to coat with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but no longer than 8 hours (longer will begin to break down the meat). 

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high. Grill steaks for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once for medium-rare. Remove steaks and allow to rest for 5 minutes. 

Slice thinly across the grain and serve.
