Carne Asada is a traditional Mexican dish that features grilled, marinated beef, typically sliced thin and served in tacos, burritos, or simply on its own with sides like rice, beans, and guacamole. The term "carne asada" literally translates to "grilled meat" in Spanish. The beef, usually a cut like flank steak or skirt steak, is marinated in a flavorful blend of citrus juices, spices, and herbs before being grilled to perfection, resulting in tender, juicy, and aromatic meat with a delicious charred exterior.
