Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Tajin Classico
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chipotle pepper
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Measure out the carne asada spices according to the recipe card. If you are sensitive to heat either leave out the chipotle and cayenne pepper or reduce the amount.
- Mix the seasoning ingredients until combined. Pour the seasoning mix into a spice jar and store in a cool, dry place.
How to use the seasoning
- Squeeze lime juice on both sides of flank steak then season generously with the carne asada seasoning. Allow to marinate for up to 2 hours, if possible, before grilling the carne asada.
Notes
- Store leftover carne asada meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Store in the freezer for longer storage.
- Don't marinate the steak in lime juice longer than a few hours. The acid in the lime juice will begin to break down the meat more than you'd want.
- If you want to keep it really simple, serve the carne asada as a steak with fresh avocados, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
- If you make a larger batch of this carne asada seasoning recipe you can freeze some of it to retain its freshness.
