Steps:
- Place the flank steak in a large baking dish and, if using the sliced onion, spread the slices over the meat.
- In a medium-sized bowl mix together the orange juice, lime juice, light beer, Kikkoman soy sauce, vegetable oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Pour the marinade over the meat; cover with a plastic film and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Light up your charcoal grill, or preheat your gas grill. (You can also use a cast iron grill pan, the ones you use over the stove top). And brush your grill with a little vegetable oil as this will prevent the meat from sticking.
- Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Place meat on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side. (Cooking time will depend on the meat thickness and your personal preferences, either medium or well done). Remove meat from grill and place it on your cutting board. Slice it and serve it with corn tortillas and other garnishes mentioned above.
- If you would like to have the same effect as that of the Mexican-American restaurant, place the cooked meat on a preheated cast iron pan, add a few drops of Soy Sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. Carne asada is traditionally made with flank steak, but you can also use skirt steak or sirloin steak. Look for a cut of meat that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
- Marinate the meat. Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder, or you can get more creative with your ingredients.
- Cook the meat over high heat. Carne asada is best cooked over high heat so that it gets a nice char on the outside and remains tender and juicy on the inside. You can grill the meat, pan-fry it, or even broil it.
- Let the meat rest before slicing. Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.
- Serve carne asada with your favorite toppings. Carne asada is traditionally served with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. You can also add other toppings such as rice, beans, or grilled vegetables.
Conclusion:
Carne asada is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are grilling it for a backyard party or making it for a weeknight dinner, carne asada is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and easy-to-make dish, give carne asada a try.
