Carne asada is a popular Mexican dish consisting of marinated and grilled beef, typically flank or skirt steak. The meat is usually seasoned with a mixture of lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and various spices, then grilled to perfection, giving it a smoky and charred flavor. It’s often served sliced thin and accompanied by sides like tortillas, guacamole, salsa, and grilled vegetables. Carne asada can be enjoyed on its own or used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and other Mexican dishes.
