Carne Asada

When Carne Asada is on the menu, everyone gets excited. Especially when I make it like this, it’s simple, tender, and juicy anyone can make it.

Whenever we make this dish, it becomes a celebration, a reason to gather and enjoy each other’s company. We take our time to make to prep it and make it. I feel it’s the prepping and cooking part of it that makes it most enjoyable.

In this recipe, you can also grill it outside on the grill, making it taste so much better. But you can also grill it inside on a skillet.

Here are a few sides you can add to this dish

Salsa Fresca

Easy Guacamole

Homemade Flour Tortillas
