Grilled Carne Asada for a Crowd

Steps

  1. Whisk all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or baking dish.
  2. Add the steak, turn to coat, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and no more than 8. The citrus turns the meat mushy if left too long.
  3. Heat the grill to high, about 450 to 500°F, and oil the grates.
  4. Lift the steak out of the marinade and pat off the extra with paper towels so it sears instead of steams. Throw away the marinade.
  5. Grill with the lid open until well charred on the bottom.
  6. Flip and grill until the thickest part reads 145°F (63°C). Skirt steak is thinner and may be done in 3 minutes.
  7. Move the steak to a cutting board and rest so the juices settle.
  8. Find the lines running along the meat and slice thinly across them. Chop into small pieces for tacos.
  9. Serve with warm tortillas, onion, cilantro, salsa and lime wedges.
  10. Cook to 145°F inside (check with a thermometer).
