Experience the authentic flavors of Carne Asada with a smoky twist. The marinade infuses rich, savory notes into the flank steak, which is then slow-smoked to perfection. A mouthwatering dish that will elevate your barbecue game.
Ingredients: 2 lbs flank steak. 1/4 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon cumin. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped. 2 limes, juiced.
Instructions: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to create the marinade. Place flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor. Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C using your choice of wood chips for flavor. Oak or mesquite works well for Carne Asada. Remove the marinated flank steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Place the marinated steak on the smoker grate and smoke for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness medium-rare to medium is recommended. Once done, remove the steak from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve the smoked Carne Asada slices with warm tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and your favorite toppings.
