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!

AUTHENTIC BAJA-MEXICAN STREET TACOS (CARNE ASADA)
On weekend getaways from San Diego to the beaches in Ensenada and Rosarito (Baja California), I found my favorite meal in the delicious soft skirt steak tacos sold by the taqueria street vendors. This recipe tastes exactly how I remember them - without having to make the trip across the border. Muy bueno! Top with some freshly squeezed lime juice and spicy salsa if you like.

A great marinade for steak!!! (You can even use it for chicken for Pollo Asada!) I use skirt steak for flap meat, but any thin cut steak would work. This recipe is for up to 4 pounds of meat. Cook time does NOT include marinating time.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality flank steak for the best results. Look for meat that is bright red and has good marbling. - Marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have time. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. - Use a hot grill or skillet to cook the steak. This will help to create a nice crust and lock in the flavor. - Cook the steak to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook for 5-7 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 7-9 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook for 9-11 minutes per side. - Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat. - Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as guacamole, salsa, and rice.Conclusion:
This spicy carne asada recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade is packed with flavor, and the steak is cooked to perfection. Whether you are serving it for a party or a weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to be a hit.
