I made this tonight and it was great! I added cayenne pepper, and cajun seasoning. I did not have fresh garlic so I used a little garlic oil, lemon juice instead of lime, and I didn't have cumin either-and it still turned out awesome.

Good recipe, simple and flavorful. For those with adventuresome tastebuds don't neglect the Dos Equis Negron, or Tequila, both add more depth to the taste and help tenderize lower quality cuts of beef during marination.

It was ok- I did the marinade overnight but it still didn't have a lot of flavor.

Love Carne Asada and with the addition of some fresh orange juice and grated orange rind (both suggestions from friends in Mexico) tastes just like the taco stands!

i will try this again on a better cut of meat. (was given thin cut ny strips). they weren't able to absorb much flavor. but i still have high hopes for this for great fajitas. i used lime instead of lemon and that was good. i also think i will add some red pepper flake next time for some heat.

Marinade was ok, I didn't care too much for it-I used it on a new york strip steak and I didn't eat any of it. But my husband loved it, he ate both his and mine.

This was an alright recipe. I marinated mine overnight, and it almost made the meat have an overbearing olive oil taste.

Love this one. Grill the meat on a high temp on the gas grill. Just a few minutes each side. Excellent Carne Asada.

I make a similar version of this. I add some finely chopped cilantro and green onions. You do need to marinade at least 8 hours.

This is an excellent marinade! Used it on steaks and served with roasted veggies and pasta. Can't wait to try it on chicken. Thanks!!!

Very good and very simple. Best marinade I have found for steaks. Works good for chicken as well. I have also used lime juice instead of lemon juice. I only use 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil.
