💭 Recipe Tips

• Use flank or skirt steak for authentic texture and absorbent capacity in Bobby Flay’s Carne Asada Marinade.
• Adjust spice levels cautiously; balance heat with citrus juices like lime for a zesty kick without overwhelming heat.
• Marinate for at least 4 hours overnight for flavors to penetrate the meat adequately.
• Maintain a slightly thicker consistency in the marinade for better adhesion and enhanced flavor infusion onto the meat.
• Avoid overcrowding the grill or pan for proper searing and a charred exterior.
