Indulge in the savory delight of Keto Carne Asada, featuring tender marinated skirt steak cooked to perfection, infused with zesty flavors and served alongside customizable low-carb sides.
Combine the lime juice, chopped garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish to create the carne asada marinade.
Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight to infuse the flavors.
Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator and allow it to reach room temperature before cooking.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Carefully place the marinated steak in the hot skillet. Sear it for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side or until your desired level of doneness is achieved. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C) for a tender medium-rare.
Once the carna asada is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes. This step ensures the juices are evenly distributed, resulting in maximum tenderness.
If desired, sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley to enhance the taste.
