1. Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl.

3. Heat the grill or stove top to medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for another 5 minutes. 4. Using a sharp knife, slice the carne asada at an angle against the grain.
