Chipotle Roasted Garlic Grille Carne Asada

Carne asada is perfect for summer. Flank steak is great for quick and easy grilling and this dish is exceptionally make-ahead friendly. Enjoy this steak for tacos, salads, burritos, nachos, or quesadillas. Our grille sauce works wonders as a carne asada marinade. That zesty chipotle pepper punch and smooth roasted garlic flavor are ideal ingredient building blocks. All you need to add is a little lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, and cilantro.

Serves 6 

Ingredients: 

1 ½ to 2 lbs. flank or skirt steak 

1 cup Gil’s Chipotle Roasted Garlic Grille Sauce 

¼ cup fresh orange juice 

¼ cup fresh lime juice 

2 tablespoons soy sauce 

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped 

Instructions 

Place the steak in a shallow casserole dish. Place the grille sauce, orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, and cilantro in a medium bowl, whisk to combine. Pour the marinade over the steak, cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours. 

Once marinated, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade, and place in the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve your carne asada with tortillas and your favorite taco-themed condiments.
