Carne asada is a classic Mexican dish featuring grilled, marinated beef, usually made with skirt or flank steak. The meat is marinated in a blend of citrus juice, garlic, spices, and sometimes cilantro, giving it a tangy, savory flavor. After marinating, the steak is grilled over high heat to achieve a smoky, charred exterior while staying tender and juicy inside. Carne asada is often served sliced thin and can be enjoyed on its own, or used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or served alongside rice, beans, grilled onions, and salsa. It’s known for its bold flavors and is a staple at Mexican barbecues and street food stalls.
