Carne Asada Tacos Recipe

Looking for tacos that taste like a backyard fiesta? These Carne Asada Tacos are bold, juicy, and ridiculously easy to throw together. Inspired by a classic from @grillin_with_dad, this recipe combines citrusy beer marinade, flame-seared steak, and the punch of Grillheads Jack of All Rubs to pack serious flavor into every bite. It’s no surprise this one stays on heavy rotation—it’s a certified taco night winner.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add one beer, a heavy coating of Grillheads Jack of All Rubs, the juice of one lime and one orange, sliced onion, olive oil, and cilantro to a dish and mix thoroughly. 
  2. Put your steak in the marinade you created in the previous step for 3 hours. 
  3. Get your griddle or grill up to high heat. Remove your steak from the marinade and throw it on. 
  4. Sear both sides - cook for two minutes on each side.
  5. Toss the onions from the marinade on the griddle as well until they are brown/caramelized. 
  6. Slice up the steak and add to your tortilla with chopped-up onions, cilantro, and caramelized onions
  7. Carve up and enjoy!

These Carne Asada Tacos prove that with a simple marinade and high-heat sear, you can turn everyday ingredients into something unforgettable.
