Ingredients

The Rub

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ancho chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp cayenne (optional, for heat)

For Tacos

  • Corn tortillas
  • Thinly sliced white onion
  • Fresh cilantro
  • A squeeze of fresh lime
  • Salsa verde or your favorite hot sauce

1Make the Rub & Rest

Combine all spices. Pat steak dry and coat both sides generously with the rub. Let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate uncovered overnight for deeper flavor and a better sear.

2Grill

Grill over high heat, 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thin against the grain. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.

3For Taco Tuesday

Pile your sliced carne asada into warm corn tortillas and top with toppings of your choice.
