Carne Asada

Penny Kovacs
This Carne Asada recipe is probably my favorite way to enjoy steak! The flavors are so incredible and the steak just melts in your mouth! If you love Chipotle's Carne Asada bowl you can now make your own healthy version at home. The secret here is to let that meat marinate over night in this incredibly easy marinade! I grilled the meat but you can pan sear it as well.
