1 head of cilantro, chopped fine 3 large cloves of garlic, minced 1 Tbsp of cumin 1 tsp of pepper 1 tsp of salt 1/2 cup of olive oil Handful of brown sugar 1 lime, zest and juice 2 Tbsp of soy sauce Marinade 1 to 4 hours
So what is a handful of brown sugar? I made this and something was off. I added a tablespoon of brown sugar. I don’t know yet..... I’m going to try again next week.
@@MrTurtleMob It should be 1 tablespoon not handful, yikes that would have been too much. If you google, Carne asada tacos sam the cooking guy and click on the first icon it takes you to the ingredients list
Sam, my son followed your recipe for carne asada . It was our all time favorite! He fixed it often, we never tired of it! My son passed away almost two years ago. He was our family grill master! I am going to give this receipe to my grand son a hopefully he will become our newest grill master. My son Nick followed you regularly and made full use of our grill. It never got too cold in Ohio for his grill!!!
Came looking for comments to see if this marinade was good and who actually liked it enough to leave a review. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure he made a tasty marinade as well. I’ll be trying it soon. Hopefully we like it as much 😃
Sam the cooking guy ..I wanted to share that I was in the hospital for 98 days I have been home since 9/1, I was in a coma for 30 days and when I woke up I couldn’t eat or drink for almost 8 weeks, I was being fed through my nose and iv and eventually a feeding tube. During that time all I watched was cooking shows and videos, it helped for some reason lol, that’s where I came across your channel. I just wanted to say thank you for your videos and personality. I love to cook and have made quite a few of your recipes. Keep up the great work, your videos helped me get through some tough times. They had the hospital locked down so no visitors. So thank you again for what you do it really helped me get through. If it wasn’t for God, my Wife , prayer and Sam the cooking guy videos, well I am here and thankful to be alive !!!!
Hello Sam, I am a 53 year old chef according to my family but I tell you that every time I make something that you show and teach us how easy it truly is to cook with flavor and love, she says “ That is the best thing you have made.” I have tried different spices before but sometimes have used too much of it and then ruins it for a while. I use your measurements to a tee most times and it never goes wrong from the tequila lime shrimp and grits I made for her birthday to the most recent Carne Asada, the best thing ever. Love what you are doing for us all, making the world cook again. Thank you brother. Kevin S.
As a Mexican who has been making carne asada for over 15yrs I would like to congratulate you on this recipe. I used it for my Sunday cookout and EVERYONE was impressed!! (which is saying a lot because my wife's grandmother is.....well.....difficult) Thank you for the video!!
Brother you just motivated even more to try this recipe. I live in El Paso,TX and as you may know this is carne asada country right here and my wife and mother in law love carne asada and would be bien encabronadas if I ruin their antojo. You know what I mean?
I love that you get right into your recipe without all the unnecessary blah,blah,blah. I love simple recipes without a ton of ingredients,so keep up the good work,can’t wait to try the “CARNE ASADA”
I don’t think you’ll see this but just in case, thank you. It turned out amazing. I go see my grandparents on my rare day off. I always pick one of your recipes to fix for them…and me. You guys are the best!
@@foosdontcry oh really??!? Have you googled the definition of carne asada? This is exactly what the definition says. Don’t be simple minded. There are hundreds of different ways to do carne asada.
People that don’t know anything about food will criticize it, but I actually think it looks very good. People probably think is sweet but is just a little kick to balance all the flavors together. I’m from Monterrey Mexico and I can tell you that there’s thousands of carne asada recipes with different ingredients. Some people add vinegar, lemon juice, adobo, pineapple juice, beer, orange juice, jalapeños, cilantro, cumin, wine, chimichurri, black pepper, white pepper, bay leaves, oregano, mustard, brown sugar, garlic, cajun seasoning, olive oil, etc etc…
Soy sauce goes with just about all steak marinades. If you don’t like soy just get braggs liquid aminos. It taste the same just a healthier version. Give it a shot
Sam, I put this together the other night. I used skirt steak and my wife and I were blown away by the incredible flavor. I just found your channel but love all of what I’ve seen so far. Keep up the good work and I love your kitchen set up. Very jealous.
Recipe never disappoints........Just whipped this up again last night with skirt steak. Absolute killer. Kicked the Brown Sugar, added Chili powder in place, hot fire. Chopped it up for burrito's.
I just watched this yesterday, it looked so good. So I went home but only had boneless chicken thighs and used the same recipe and put over the BBQ, it was the best chicken we ever had!
So finally did this exact marinade for my fam, got to say- amazing! Grew up making carne asada and this is the winner. No need to put beer, or a bunch of home sauces. Simple and amazing. The meat maintains its own flavor . This will now be my go to marinade for flank steak-
@Jay Kemme , my parents are from Michoacan and Guadalajara. Having visited relatives down there all I've ever seen as anything resembling traditional carne asada consisted of whatever thinly cut of diesmillo or arrachera steak, lightly salted, grilled. Nothing fancy, no marinades, just plain steak. Same stuff in the mercados, on the street. Even in sit down restaurants, unless they offered something as a house specialty, a carne asada plate was just a simple, thinly cut steak, either bistec or sliced. I have never, in all my travels in Mexico, ever had carne asada that was marinaded or "preprada". In the US, yeah, we would get it if we wanted only because it was different but it's not the norm.
I agree. There's alot of stuff out there that are variations of the traditional stuff I grew up with that my Mom, Aunts, and Grandmothers would make. As long as it taste good, it's all good. I will say mention something else that made me laugh. Several years ago, Carl's Jr. advertised, what they were calling, a traditionally authentic California burrito. They showed the streets of Tijuana, and points south. I emailed their marketing team informing them that there was no such thing as an "authentic" California burrito and that saying this stupidity is insulting the intelligence of a lot of Southern Californians considering that many are very familiar with authentic Mexican food. While I never saw that commercial again I'm sure they received the same type of feedback from others.
I made this the first time with flat iron steak because we could never find good skirt or Flank steak. Tonight, I used beef tenderloin and it was SUPERB. The whole family thinks I'm amazing. 🤣🤣 I fessed up that it was Sam's recipe.
I made this for Father's day recently. It is probably my 3rd time making this, and it really is the best Carne asada I have ever had. Thanks to all of you, and happy Father's day (little late). Keep up the good work!
Sooooo... I'm hispanic.. I have carne asada all the time at family events or even just on a random day.. it got to the point where I even got bored of carne asada.... but watching this video made my mouth so watery, and got me craving it all over again! Wthhhh... good job random guy!
@Ruffian By Nature I'm not Hispanic. Hispanics are Europeans white Spaniards. I'm indigenous mexicano .so get your shit right before you call Mexicans Hispanic
Randy Segovia Mexicans are Hispanics dumb fuck. Maybe you do a quick Google search of what a Hispanic is before correcting someone with the wrong information.
Sam, you're a great man. I have some elderly friends who as you may imagine, appreciate tender and easy chewing meats. Family and friends of all ages loved the delicious servings. Your idea was a blessing for us all. Thank you, amigo.
@@TA-dk5nl So tell me. What's the difference between this recipe and the "authentic" recipe? As a an avid foodie and cook I've learned that authentic doesn't necessarily/always mean better than non authentic. I care more about quality of ingredients and creativity of use of ingredients, rather than doing something by the book.
I made it and added Toreados chili peppers to the marinade! Served with cilantro lime rice and black beans. No words to describe how unbelievably delicious it was with layers of flavor!
I’m Mexican and I’ give this recipe a GO!! I make it the way my dad taught me but I tried this recipe and it was DAMN GOOD!!! Got yourself a new subscriber sir.
I actually use a little water and tablespoon of vinegar along with everything else he described. I was expecting a twist of something else to add to give it the meat flavor. 🤔
Just curious, we found a different recipe for the marinade , this woman added Oregano in HER marinade . Have you ever heard of this? It doesn’t sound like it would be all that good with oregano. When it’s convenient for you , could you send a text to me in response to my question ? Please? Thank you ! Paula Winder , Idaho.
@@dab_saget It's not the way that Mexicans make it. So technically it's not *real* carne asada, but like I said, I'll still eat it, looks better than anything I can make xD
@@dab_saget Lunar is correct: mexican carne asada is made much differently.. but that takes noting away from this style. It looks freaking delicious and I'm going to try it one day.
I made this exactly but without the brown sugar and it tastes AMAZING. 10/10 it works so good the flap meat and the charring was insane. It tastes exactly the carne asada my mother used to cook for me in my childhood.
Y’all hating on this comment section, I tried this recipe last Sunday & it’s actually really good. Only difference is I added some beer, but other than that this brother is on to something.
You are my new favorite person! Cooked your enchiladas for a party of 17 and they were blown away. I cannot wait to make street tacos using this recipe for the meat. Keep rocking out the LIFE ALTERING DELICIOUSNESS!!!! 😘
When my oldest Son comes to town and me and him and his little Bro hang out, this is the exact recipe they want. We do it just like you show. The 3 of us go in the kitchen and make the marinade, then visit for 1-2 hours with it in the fridge, then fire up the grill. It is always amazing!!! As a side note, we eat it straight off the cutting board. (also like to add a bit more salt and pepper after the marinade.) Thanks Sam. My Sons think I'm a chef. Really, I just follow your recipe.
I'm Mexican from Mexico and I never seen this, but I understand recipes can vary according to the region where they're prepared, with that said I am willing to be open minded and give this a try, who knows I might be very surprised on a positive way.
Thank you! Usually Mexican and Italian are very skeptical when, a nonperson from there culture, usually makes it and always comment’s how it should be made! I like this mindset sir.
Sam Sam Sam...... Tried this recipe yesterday and let me tell you🤤🤤. Just speechless. The whole recipe came together perfectly. I watch all your video's and decided to try this one first. Whoever was barking at you b/c of the soy sauce get your violin out and play them a song. Everything was perfect. Please keep them coming.!!!
Hi Sam, i heard from your Carne Asada Cup Noodles that you had gotten alot of sht from ppl on this vid due to soy sauce so i came back to say this to defend you from everyone hating on the soy sauce. My dad and my uncle are from central pacific Mexico and they used to own / Operate a Taco truck in northern California during the early 90's. I was a little kid then, but they would put soy sauce in ther carne asada and it was very popular taco truck. My uncle had suggested it to my dad , he had gotten the idea from another taquero friend of his in Baja. I would say innovation in the kitchen/cuisine or gastronomia is a very Mexican thing on its own, nevermind the people crying foul they dont know wtf theyre talking about. Mexicans evolve and we been putting soy sauce in our carne asada in my family for decades. Years before any fusion movement or the internet. Love your show my guy.
By FAR the best cooking channel on UA-cam. I have not seen anything you've made I wouldn't eat and your enthusiasm for good food shines through every video. Thanks for the content, keep it up! Dave from the UK
I was skeptical as well… being Mexican once i heard soy sauce I was out. But, I gave a shot, Pretty damn good my family thought it was really good. Personally I would rate it a strong 8.8 out of 10. It’s definitely one to try, non traditional but definitely goes good with some corn tortillas and a good guacamole. I would make it again. *side note if you’re like me and want a little kick I roasted some jalapeños on the grill and through those on the tacos. * Those are my 2 cents.
Soy sauce is very common in Mexican cooking. Many restaurants will have salsa de soya alongside all the other condiments and it is commonly used in marinades as well.
I have made this three times now and it is a no fail, awesome recipe. So easy, SOOOOO good. I have changed it just a tiny bit, here's my tried and true version: 1 bunch cilantro 4 cloves garlic 1 1/2 TB cumin 1tsp salt and pepper 1/2 C olive oil 1 1/2 TB dark brown sugar 2 limes, zested and juiced 3 TB soy sauce
Need to let you know that I've seen, re-viewed, and used this video to make the carne asada dozens of times now. Personally, I don't use the brown sugar, but otherwise, Sam, this recipe ya done did, is freaking wonderful. The carne asada it ALWAYS gets applause. Love it-love it-love-it.
@@joerivas9847 Yup. I like letting as much of the meaty goodness come through. No need to hide the taste. The soy sauce is good in the mix, but I've done without, too, and it's fantastic.
Sam- You are Absolutely right on the marinade ingredients! My in-laws, from Holland, marinated meat for the Grill with Sweet Soy Sauce. You can find ABC Sweet Soy Sauce in the Asian section of lager supermarkets. Won't need the brown sugar, then, and marinated overnight gives the meat Incredible flavor! Thank you for your informative and helpful vids. Making tacos from this one tonight!
Armando Rios I actually like the idea and I tried it. It won’t be much different just more money to spend. Might as well just drink your beer on the side
Hello Sam. I made this recipe yesterday and it was phenomenal! First one of yours I tried. All of you should try it. Very important to marinate 4 plus hours. Use thermometer. Cook to 139 degrees then pull off and wrap in foil. Cut and freeze what you don't use. I make tacos all the time now, thanks to Sam!
I made this twice already. You gotta try it. One of my favorites now. The flavor is amazing. I let mine marinade for 24 because it ended up raining. Worked out for the better
Have used this marinade twice on stove seared to oven cooked chuck steak. OMG it's DOPE! Seriously! I'm eating the steak now w/ a cucumber tomato salad. OMG. SO GOOD!!! You are right. You are a GENIUS!!!
when I saw him skip out on the OJ, I came down here to read the comments... all carne asada recipes I've seen use OJ, but I think it's to tenderize the meat, and his meat was already very thin and tender...
Tried this recipe before, trust me it did not fail to impress many. Making it again tonight, my go to recipe, Sam absolutely has a wonderful cooking style and tasteful recipes.
You, sir, are my new favorite person to watch on you tube. Awesome presentation and everything was so easily explained! And that shirt! Looking forward to trying this out with a little canna infused oil!
I'm making this right now for carne asada enchiladas. I added everything into my marinade with the addition of a splash of liquid smoke and a little msg. Smells amazing and I'm looking forward to cooking it up tomorrow.
Pretty good marinade brother, a little different from the barrio bar-b-q style the ways the homies do it, but I'd definitely try it. Also, the best way to eat carne asada, is with homemade flour or corn tortillas. Matter of fact, me and the wife made carne asada yesterday with homemade everything. You have a new subscriber!
Just got the fajitas off the grill! My 9 year old daughter says, "It's beautiful!" My son said it's great and wants to know if we can do it with chicken 🐓. We ❤ your show! Enjoy our meal in McAllen, Texas
My step dad (Mexican) always made me drizzle a little lime/orange juice mix and a pinch of salt on the meat after the flip when he taught me to grill Carne. Kept the citrus zest from being boiled out of the meat. If the grill wasn't well seasoned or didn't get hot enough to char properly, he liked to cheat and add a drop of liquid smoke to that juice drizzle. He was fanatical about combining char/citrus flavor as being essential to his Carne method. Of course, he also thought that adding lime juice to any food was the panacea to all ailments and ills, so I took his advice with a grain of salt as well. He's been dead for years... : /
Catching up with this channel which I just found. Made this today and it is amazing!!!! So delicious and fresh tasting, which is very different than any steak I've ever had. Told a bowl of cut up pieces of the meat to my neighbors and they were blown away!!! Highly recommend.
I purchased the same zester as yours Sam, and I simply cannot understand, why I had gone nearly forty five years in the kitchen without one! I love how it works on citrus, but my favorite reason, is how well it perfectly grates Pecorino Romano for adding to my Carbonara sauces!
Josue Martínez JM Music they’re not exactly the same, ranchera is beef loin flap in English, arrachera is beef skirt in English, a lot of places here in the states don’t have arrachera, but the butcher recommends beef loin flap aka ranchera, in Mexico you see a lot of arrachera at the carnicerías. I’ve noticed that ranchera is more porous than arrachera and it absorbs the marinade better, arrachera is a little more dense, they’re both good and similar enough that if you marinated both, most people would never be able to tell that they’re slightly different cuts of meat. I only buy if it says ranchera or beef loin flap, for tacos I’m a fan of diezmillo. People also use flank and brisket for carne asada grilling, but skirt and beef loin flap are best if you’re marinating, flank is a leaner choice.
So i use your recepy for my.wedding and this meat was the first thing to be gone. I use it at list once a year and always is the first meat to be gone and to be praised. Tomorrow is the first cookout of my new company and i just marinated meat with your recepy and i be cooking for my coworkers. Thanks!!
The same thing happened to me when my Mom walked in but when I switched to porn it was Sam the cooking guy so I got told off anyway for watching crappy porn
Add garlic butter to the cut meat after u salt it in its own juices. Also grill on high heat, 600 to 700 degrees over charcoal if u can. Superb recipe. We added cumin and smoked paprika to the marinade.
That is how it's done. I like how nothing was measured, if you have an hour let it sit an hour. If you have four hours, let it sit four hours. Cooking doesn't have to be prescriptive.
SAM THE COOKING GUY I'm totally hijacking this marinade recipe and "doin it up" with a couple of unexpected add-ons! Imagine this exact marinade recipe with a bit of agave, a dash of Chipotle powder (or paste) some African pepper flakes (Urban Accents Peri Peri is amazeballs) and a tablespoon, or 2 of an authentic French orange liqueur. Your taste buds just may consider pressing FLAVOR RAPE charges.
Holy Effing A. I’ve been a fan of your channel for a while. I JUST used this marinade today and I’m friggen OBSESSED. I’m gonna make tacos. I’m gonna make breakfast. I’m gonna make jerky. Oh LAWD this is DELSIH!!!
![Skirt Steak vs Flap Steak - What Are the Differences? [Steaks Review]](/img/n.gif)

3 large cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of cumin
1 tsp of pepper
1 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of olive oil
Handful of brown sugar
1 lime, zest and juice

Is brown sugar normal for this style of meat? I feel like I'm doing something very wrong adding sugar to meat.
@@PanupatChong It balances out the soy sauce etc. You wont even taste it
So what is a handful of brown sugar? I made this and something was off. I added a tablespoon of brown sugar. I don’t know yet..... I’m going to try again next week.

I actually use a little water and tablespoon of vinegar along with everything else he described.
I was expecting a twist of something else to add to give it the meat flavor. 🤔
Just curious, we found a different recipe for the marinade , this woman added Oregano in HER marinade . Have you ever heard of this? It doesn’t sound like it would be all that good with oregano. When it’s convenient for you , could you send a text to me in response to my question ? Please? Thank you ! Paula Winder , Idaho.
I know it's not *real* carne asada, but I don't really care, I'll still eat that. Looks fucking great
Wtf do you mean it's not real LOL
@@dab_saget It's not the way that Mexicans make it. So technically it's not *real* carne asada, but like I said, I'll still eat it, looks better than anything I can make xD
@@dab_saget Lunar is correct: mexican carne asada is made much differently.. but that takes noting away from this style. It looks freaking delicious and I'm going to try it one day.
The meat is asada thou lol
Carne asada translates to grilled meat. So you're wrong lol
I made this exactly but without the brown sugar and it tastes AMAZING. 10/10 it works so good the flap meat and the charring was insane. It tastes exactly the carne asada my mother used to cook for me in my childhood.
His reaction at 1:19 is all the convincing I need! 😂☠️☠️
Y’all hating on this comment section, I tried this recipe last Sunday & it’s actually really good. Only difference is I added some beer, but other than that this brother is on to something.
Add some beer and sunny D 👌
@@m11cordoza46 and some Powerade 👌🏽😎
Did the beer make it extra good?
@@bethrhyne4795 I've seen a lot of people put beer on carne asada so I assume it's good.
@@user-gr2ef5uz5g . I followed his recipe to the T . Came out great
You are my new favorite person! Cooked your enchiladas for a party of 17 and they were blown away. I cannot wait to make street tacos using this recipe for the meat. Keep rocking out the LIFE ALTERING DELICIOUSNESS!!!! 😘
When my oldest Son comes to town and me and him and his little Bro hang out, this is the exact recipe they want. We do it just like you show. The 3 of us go in the kitchen and make the marinade, then visit for 1-2 hours with it in the fridge, then fire up the grill. It is always amazing!!! As a side note, we eat it straight off the cutting board. (also like to add a bit more salt and pepper after the marinade.) Thanks Sam. My Sons think I'm a chef. Really, I just follow your recipe.
when i visit my Mom, we also do this :)
I was vegan for 4 of my stupid teenage years, now I'm watching this at 10pm waiting for morning to come so I can buy the ingredients and try this.
Same 😂 except for the vegan part lmfao
@@dxmino06😅
I was waiting for him to call it "Car-knee Estrada"
thanks for the laugh 😂
Just try the recipe before whining, give the guy a break, I'm 💯 confident that it's going to be delicious AF can't wait to try it this weekend.
He called it the best carne asada.
I think thats the issue.
My mum always asking me where I get my cooking ideas and I just say "Sam showed us" - the best cooking show on YT hands down.
I'm Mexican from Mexico and I never seen this, but I understand recipes can vary according to the region where they're prepared, with that said I am willing to be open minded and give this a try, who knows I might be very surprised on a positive way.
What did you think?
" Mexican from Mexico " no shit!! Pinche vato menso
Thank you! Usually Mexican and Italian are very skeptical when, a nonperson from there culture, usually makes it and always comment’s how it should be made! I like this mindset sir.
I grew up and live in east LA. I’m not mad about this lol I’m trying it tomorrow. People need to chill out in here
rey perez how was it?
Brian Diaz it killed him

Sam Sam Sam......
Tried this recipe yesterday and let me tell you🤤🤤. Just speechless. The whole recipe came together perfectly. I watch all your video's and decided to try this one first. Whoever was barking at you b/c of the soy sauce get your violin out and play them a song. Everything was perfect. Please keep them coming.!!!
I'm so glad you made it, what a waste of space to read all these comments from those who are criticizing this recipe without even making it
The entire reason I’m building my outdoor kitchen!! Amazing
Hi Sam, i heard from your Carne Asada Cup Noodles that you had gotten alot of sht from ppl on this vid due to soy sauce so i came back to say this to defend you from everyone hating on the soy sauce. My dad and my uncle are from central pacific Mexico and they used to own / Operate a Taco truck in northern California during the early 90's. I was a little kid then, but they would put soy sauce in ther carne asada and it was very popular taco truck. My uncle had suggested it to my dad , he had gotten the idea from another taquero friend of his in Baja. I would say innovation in the kitchen/cuisine or gastronomia is a very Mexican thing on its own, nevermind the people crying foul they dont know wtf theyre talking about. Mexicans evolve and we been putting soy sauce in our carne asada in my family for decades. Years before any fusion movement or the internet. Love your show my guy.
By FAR the best cooking channel on UA-cam. I have not seen anything you've made I wouldn't eat and your enthusiasm for good food shines through every video. Thanks for the content, keep it up! Dave from the UK
Try guga buddy
@@ivanrivera5130 yeah no shit! Guga rules!!
“It’s amazing.” - zero emotion in his face lol
Hes a 👽
I was skeptical as well… being Mexican once i heard soy sauce I was out. But, I gave a shot, Pretty damn good my family thought it was really good. Personally I would rate it a strong 8.8 out of 10. It’s definitely one to try, non traditional but definitely goes good with some corn tortillas and a good guacamole. I would make it again.
*side note if you’re like me and want a little kick I roasted some jalapeños on the grill and through those on the tacos. *
Those are my 2 cents.
Soy sauce is very common in Mexican cooking. Many restaurants will have salsa de soya alongside all the other condiments and it is commonly used in marinades as well.
@@GenericDino my family doesn’t use it but I have seen it around recipes
I have made this three times now and it is a no fail, awesome recipe. So easy, SOOOOO good. I have changed it just a tiny bit, here's my tried and true version:
1 bunch cilantro
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 TB cumin
1tsp salt and pepper
1/2 C olive oil
1 1/2 TB dark brown sugar
2 limes, zested and juiced
3 TB soy sauce
Just made this today. I must say this is the tastiest, most juiciest steak that I’ve made. Everyone loved it. Thank you again for a awesome recipe.
How much brown sugar should I use for 3 lbs skirt steak
I’ve made this recipe dozens of times, it’s amazing! I like to pair it with some grilled shrimp as well and it’s always a hit at BBQ’s and parties.
How you grill ur shrimp
Tried this with chicken and its so good too
Need to let you know that I've seen, re-viewed, and used this video to make the carne asada dozens of times now. Personally, I don't use the brown sugar, but otherwise, Sam, this recipe ya done did, is freaking wonderful. The carne asada it ALWAYS gets applause. Love it-love it-love-it.
Yeah, I have never seen or prepped carne asada prepped with brown sugar or soy sauce.......
@@joerivas9847 Yup. I like letting as much of the meaty goodness come through. No need to hide the taste. The soy sauce is good in the mix, but I've done without, too, and it's fantastic.
Sam-
You are Absolutely right on the marinade ingredients! My in-laws, from Holland, marinated meat for the Grill with Sweet Soy Sauce. You can find ABC Sweet Soy Sauce in the Asian section of lager supermarkets. Won't need the brown sugar, then, and marinated overnight gives the meat Incredible flavor! Thank you for your informative and helpful vids. Making tacos from this one tonight!
I will add beer, will give it an extra tenderness to the carne asada.
Armando Rios I actually like the idea and I tried it. It won’t be much different just more money to spend. Might as well just drink your beer on the side
I spill beer on muy carne asada, delicious, the fire kills anything..
I also clean my culo with beer
Mario Acosta I’m not the only one
@@marioacosta2340 jajjaja
I normally just use beer salt oranges and cilantro 🤷🏻♂️
Moth Moses he dont get it
Better than what this guy did
Right?!!!!
He should stick to what he knows and carne asada isn't one of them.
The taco truck to comes to our work once a month does the same thing. Exactly like you said. Their tacos are amazing.
I had to come back and say, these are absolutely delicious. If anyone is debating making these, go for it. My parents and myself loved this recipe 🐐
Hello Sam. I made this recipe yesterday and it was phenomenal! First one of yours I tried. All of you should try it. Very important to marinate 4 plus hours. Use thermometer. Cook to 139 degrees then pull off and wrap in foil. Cut and freeze what you don't use. I make tacos all the time now, thanks to Sam!
Made this today, Sam as usual - You nailed it!!!! Wife is even telling me to watch more of your shows so I cook more LOL
So so good! Highly recommended. Don’t have a grill, so I just did it on the stove top.
Hey from Cologne, Germany! I just made this carne asada with a good skirt steak 🥩. It was just fantastic! Thanks a lot with this wonderful idea.
"CARNY ASADER" 😂
The lady in the background trying to stay out of the shot cracked me up
I made this twice already. You gotta try it. One of my favorites now. The flavor is amazing. I let mine marinade for 24 because it ended up raining. Worked out for the better
You just answered my question because I'm going to leave it overnight. I was asking if it was okay to leave it overnight
@@GenEmperor I prefer overnight, makes it more tender and adds more flavor :)
What kind of beef did you use?
@@chucknola484 skirt steak
Have used this marinade twice on stove seared to oven cooked chuck steak. OMG it's DOPE! Seriously! I'm eating the steak now w/ a cucumber tomato salad. OMG. SO GOOD!!! You are right. You are a GENIUS!!!
Wow! That really does look like the best asada ever.
Carne asada hack. Don’t put brown sugar and soy sauce on your carne asada. Use orange juice or Tampico. You’re welcome.
Tampico? Wth
jrh0369 thank you
when I saw him skip out on the OJ, I came down here to read the comments... all carne asada recipes I've seen use OJ, but I think it's to tenderize the meat, and his meat was already very thin and tender...
Ken Teague yep. The acidity and sugars from oj or Tampico break down the meat and add flavor.
Tampico is the secret ingredient, don’t give it away lol
Brown sugar? No Mexican puts brown sugar in their carne asada lol
La Croix well now you know
Or cumin tf
If no one ever did anything different, things would be pretty freaking boring
La Croix he does, and we Mexicans do not marinade our "carne" that way.

Nice to see Steve Mnuchin has a side gig with the way things are going!!!
Tried this recipe before, trust me it did not fail to impress many. Making it again tonight, my go to recipe, Sam absolutely has a wonderful cooking style and tasteful recipes.
Try it with chicken is soo good too
You, sir, are my new favorite person to watch on you tube. Awesome presentation and everything was so easily explained! And that shirt! Looking forward to trying this out with a little canna infused oil!
mike gee the shirt is put out by another food vlogger named Mikey Chen. It’s super cool to see them promoting each other.
this isnt traditional but it does seem good.

A little dopey but...
Some people really don't read descriptions do they. It clearly says non-traditional. Ya'll need some therapy and meditation.
🤣
@Julio Moran I meant 'that's a weird thing to say'.
Martha Sviniard that was clearly for satire and how much he like carne asada you idiot.
Made this for my family tonight and it was a big hit and it was my first time ever making this. Thanks Everyone
I'm making this right now for carne asada enchiladas. I added everything into my marinade with the addition of a splash of liquid smoke and a little msg. Smells amazing and I'm looking forward to cooking it up tomorrow.
Pepper is ground for freshness, salt is ground only to control the grain size.
My son and I are preparing this tonight. It's marinating now. You bring good times Sam.
Pretty good marinade brother, a little different from the barrio bar-b-q style the ways the homies do it, but I'd definitely try it. Also, the best way to eat carne asada, is with homemade flour or corn tortillas. Matter of fact, me and the wife made carne asada yesterday with homemade everything. You have a new subscriber!
Hi Dave , You’re recipe was a huge success . My Family loved it !!!I I actually added a quarter cup of OJ also. 👍🇺🇸
Sorry I mean Sam 😅
Just got the fajitas off the grill! My 9 year old daughter says, "It's beautiful!" My son said it's great and wants to know if we can do it with chicken 🐓. We ❤ your show!
Enjoy our meal in McAllen, Texas
My step dad (Mexican) always made me drizzle a little lime/orange juice mix and a pinch of salt on the meat after the flip when he taught me to grill Carne. Kept the citrus zest from being boiled out of the meat.
If the grill wasn't well seasoned or didn't get hot enough to char properly, he liked to cheat and add a drop of liquid smoke to that juice drizzle. He was fanatical about combining char/citrus flavor as being essential to his Carne method.
Of course, he also thought that adding lime juice to any food was the panacea to all ailments and ills, so I took his advice with a grain of salt as well. He's been dead for years... : /
I'm sorry about him passing but he sounds like he was a grill genius. Be proud you were able to learn from him
:)
He forgot to add beer
No he's not paisa.

Catching up with this channel which I just found. Made this today and it is amazing!!!! So delicious and fresh tasting, which is very different than any steak I've ever had. Told a bowl of cut up pieces of the meat to my neighbors and they were blown away!!! Highly recommend.
I purchased the same zester as yours Sam, and I simply cannot understand, why I had gone nearly forty five years in the kitchen without one!
I love how it works on citrus, but my favorite reason, is how well it perfectly grates Pecorino Romano for adding to my Carbonara sauces!
Thank you for writing down the measurements for us I appreciate you! I can not wait to make this today for Father's Day!
Amazing, everything I learn from this guy comes out with satisfaction every time
Sirloin flap 😂that’s ranchera homie
Arrachera pochitoo
👌👌😂😂
Josue Martínez JM Music arrachera is skirt steak, a different cut.
@@STILLNIGHTPEARL wrong , same type of steak, only difference is the fancy names people give them
Josue Martínez JM Music they’re not exactly the same, ranchera is beef loin flap in English, arrachera is beef skirt in English, a lot of places here in the states don’t have arrachera, but the butcher recommends beef loin flap aka ranchera, in Mexico you see a lot of arrachera at the carnicerías. I’ve noticed that ranchera is more porous than arrachera and it absorbs the marinade better, arrachera is a little more dense, they’re both good and similar enough that if you marinated both, most people would never be able to tell that they’re slightly different cuts of meat. I only buy if it says ranchera or beef loin flap, for tacos I’m a fan of diezmillo. People also use flank and brisket for carne asada grilling, but skirt and beef loin flap are best if you’re marinating, flank is a leaner choice.
I love how he doesn't even measure the ingredients but just throws it in. Good luck to us making this.
So i use your recepy for my.wedding and this meat was the first thing to be gone. I use it at list once a year and always is the first meat to be gone and to be praised.
Tomorrow is the first cookout of my new company and i just marinated meat with your recepy and i be cooking for my coworkers. Thanks!!
This video came up on my recommendations yesterday. Made this today. SO FREAKING GOOD!

Add garlic butter to the cut meat after u salt it in its own juices. Also grill on high heat, 600 to 700 degrees over charcoal if u can. Superb recipe. We added cumin and smoked paprika to the marinade.

thx
That is how it's done. I like how nothing was measured, if you have an hour let it sit an hour. If you have four hours, let it sit four hours. Cooking doesn't have to be prescriptive.
Grill Top Experience Exactly. Save the measurements for baking 👍🏼
SAM THE COOKING GUY I'm totally hijacking this marinade recipe and "doin it up" with a couple of unexpected add-ons! Imagine this exact marinade recipe with a bit of agave, a dash of Chipotle powder (or paste) some African pepper flakes (Urban Accents Peri Peri is amazeballs) and a tablespoon, or 2 of an authentic French orange liqueur. Your taste buds just may consider pressing FLAVOR RAPE charges.
Please white people don't know anything about carne asada lol
