I’ll never forget the first time my husband asked me to make Carne Asada. I was a bit nervous—I had never worked with flank steak before, and it sounded intimidating! But trust me, if I can make this, anyone can. This Carne Asada is surprisingly simple to whip up, and the payoff? Absolutely delicious! The aroma alone is enough to have everyone asking, “What’s for dinner?” And the flavors? A perfect blend of sweet and savory that’s almost addictive.

Why I Love This Recipe:

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is. We serve it in tortillas topped with a little Mexican cheese for a traditional twist, but it’s also amazing over rice or a simple salad for a lighter option. And if your kids are like mine and love to help in the kitchen, this is a great recipe for them to jump in and stir up the marinade.

Why This Recipe Works:

Marinating the steak in lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and cilantro really infuses it with layers of flavor. It’s juicy, tender, and has just the right amount of sweetness from the maple syrup that even my picky eaters can’t resist!

Whether you’re making this for a quick weeknight dinner or as a fun weekend meal, this Carne Asada is sure to be a hit. Let me know if you give it a try and how your family loves it!
