CITRUS CARNE ASADA MARINADE



Citrus Carne Asada Marinade image

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 a great steak marinade that has citrus and spice flavoring. The sugar will burn quickly on the grill so be mindful of the time the steak is on the grill.
