Easy Carne Asada Marinade

Ingredients

1-2 serrano peppers minced (or use jalapeno peppers for a milder version)
4 cloves garlic minced
¼ – ½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons chili oil
Juice from 2 large oranges about a ¾ cup
Juice from 2 limes
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar apple cider vinegar is good, too
1 tablespoon ancho powder optional, but I LOVE it
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 pound skirt or flank steak for marinating

Directions

Whisk all of the ingredients (except for the steak) in a medium sized bowl until well combined.

Alternatively, you can process the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth.

To use the marinade, add it to a large sealable bag with the steak and rub it thoroughly into the meat. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor penetration.

Discard the marinade, then grill the marinated steak on the grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. 135 degrees F is medium-rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice it against the grain and serve it up.
