The Best Carne Asada Marinade (Short Rib Version!)

The Best Marinade for Carne Asada Skirt/Flank/Chuck Steak or Short Ribs
We had the chance to fine tune this recipe while creating our just released Carne Asada Spice Mix. Our carne asada blend + this marinade = a juicy and flavorful carne asada at home.
You can use a variety of beef cuts for this recipe and we have tried several. The traditional cut is skirt steak (arrechera), but we have also tested this with flank steak, flat iron (chuck) steak, and our favorite, boneless short ribs.
An instant read thermometer is a must have for this as you want to pull the steak off the grill at 130 degrees for perfect medium rare, which will yield the most tender results.
We strongly suggest you allow the meat to marinate overnight for the best results.
