Ingredients
For the marinade
- 2 pounds flank or skirt steak
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, white vinegar, chopped cilantro, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Place the flank or skirt steak in a large sealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Take the steak out of the marinade, ensuring that any extra marinade drips off.
- Grill the steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Take the steak off the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes, allowing juices to redistribute and enhance the flavor.
- Slice the grilled steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Use the grill or stovetop to warm the corn tortillas.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of the grilled steak onto each tortilla. Top with chopped onions, fresh cilantro, sliced radishes, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Serve the King Taco Carne Asada immediately on a platter, and enjoy!
