Carne Asada in the Oven

This carne asada in the oven recipe uses a simple citrus marinade and the broiler instead of a grill. It is ready in about 10 minutes of cook time and delivers the same charred, juicy steak you would expect from outdoor grilling.

Instructions

  • In a medium glass bowl, whisk together all of the oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
    A bowl of chimichurri sauce with chopped herbs and oil, with a spoon resting inside, on a white surface—perfect for drizzling over Carne Asada In The Oven.
  • Place the steak in a glass baking tray, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure both sides of the steak are well coated. Cover the baking tray with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 to 4 hours. You can marinate overnight for even more flavor.
    Raw steak in a glass dish sits in marinade with chopped herbs, minced garlic, and oil on a white background—perfectly prepared for making Carne Asada In The Oven.
  • Position the top oven rack about 4 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Place the meat on a heavy-duty baking sheet or broiling pan lined with foil. Broil for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium or 160˚F for well done.
  • Place the steak on a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice it thinly against the grain and serve.
