Carne Asada

Indulge in the savory delight of Keto Carne Asada, featuring tender marinated skirt steak cooked to perfection, infused with zesty flavors and served alongside customizable low-carb sides.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound skirt steak
• 1 lime (juice and zest)
• 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
• Sea salt (to taste)
• Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine the lime juice, chopped garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish to create the carne asada marinade.
2. 2Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated.
3. 3Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight to infuse the flavors.
4. 4Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator and allow it to reach room temperature before cooking.
5. 5Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
6. 6Carefully place the marinated steak in the hot skillet. Sear it for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C) for a tender medium-rare.
7. 7Once the carna asada is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This step ensures the juices are evenly distributed, resulting in maximum tenderness.
8. 8If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley to enhance the taste.
