Carne Asada Skirt Steak Tacos Recipe
Carne Asada made with marinated skirt steak, then grilled hot and fast and sliced thin for the ultimate Taco Night meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds skirt steak (Trim and cut into thirds.)
- ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 orange, juiced (approx ½ cup)
- 1 lime, juiced (approx ¼ cup)
- ¼ cup onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- zest of 1 lime
- 3 tablespoons beef rub
Directions
- 1
Place all marinade ingredients in a large gallon sized bag. Mix together. Add the steak to the marinade. Mix again. Seal tight, and place in a large bowl and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, we cap at 6 hours to maintain the beef flavor.

Heat grill nice and hot, and prepare for direct cooking. Target 450 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit over direct grilling.

Remove the steak from the bag and pat dry (don't worry about removing pieces of the onion or garlic). Discard any extra marinade. Liberally season your steak on both sides with your dry rub.

Place on grill for direct cooking. Grill approximately 3-4 minutes per side (this will depend on size of your steak). It's always best to check your temperature with a digital thermometer. We like 125 for rare, and also 135 for medium rare. *see notes Remove from heat.

Slice against the grain, and serve as a filling for tacos or burritos.
