• Let’s break this down into manageable steps so you can achieve perfection!

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

• To kick things off, grab a mixing bowl and combine the olive oil, tamari, orange juice, lime juice, orange zest, honey, and spices. That’s right: chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked ancho chili powder, minced garlic, and jalapeño. Whisk it all together until it forms a delicious mixture.

Step 2: Marinate the Steak

• Take your flank or skirt steak and place it in a large resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s completely covered. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal the bag. Toss it in the fridge and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, but for a fuller flavor, let it sit overnight.

Step 3: Preheat Your Grill

• When you’re ready to cook, fire up your grill. Aim for medium-high heat. While your grill heats up, remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.

Step 4: Grill the Steak

• Place the steak on the grill, season it with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare. The key is not to overcook it!

Step 5: Rest and Slice

• Once grilled to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute. After resting, slice it against the grain into thin strips.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Now for the fun part! Serve your carne asada hot with your choice of sides. Be sure to have your tortillas, guacamole, and salsa at the ready!
