INSTRUCTIONS
How to Marinade Carne Asada
Marinade for 2 hours minimum (I usually marinade overnight).
Place ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Add a little water if you like your crema on the thinner side.
How To Grill Carne Asada
Grill on High. Usually, 2 minutes each side for medium rare (140°F).
*grill temperatures may vary
Cover with foil and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
