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!!!

My husband stated that this was the best marinade that we've used, to date. Very good and very easy. I was only able to marinate it for close to 1 1/2 hours so prior to placing the meat (I used sirloin) into the marinade, I used a fork to prick holes into it so that the marinade would penetrate more easily. I also used regular Olive Oil instead of EVOO, because it was all that I had at the time.

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.

Average flavor. Great if you want to add some variety to your menu when the cupboards are getting bare. If you do use this marinade, let it sit for longer than 2 hours. I waited the minimum time and it didn't make much difference to the flavor.

My husband grew up in a hispanic household in San Francisco and ate often at the great taquerias in the city. I used this marinade on some top sirloin steaks, and he said this is the taste he grew up with. He said it was "perfect!". I'll definately hang on to this recipe!

I also used Lime juice instead of Lemon and let the meat sit for most of the day. I then cut into strips and fried them for use in burrito's! YUM!! Fresh cilantro, onions, olives, lettuce, cheese and the sirloin strips were wonderful. Can't wait to use again.

After stocking our deep freezer with steaks this past summer I found myself using this marinade a LOT. It tenderizes and adds a nice subtle flavor w/o over-powering your choice of meat.

This is the true Carne Asada recipe, except you are supposed to use lime juice instead of lemon juice. Try using 2 tablespoons instead too. This will give you the true Carne Asada taste. This simple taste, however, does not cater to everyone. I simply love it!

only thing i changed was i added onion salt instead of regular and chilli powder(of medium spice), i cut up 2 lbs carne asada into thin strips and marinaded for 5 hours. I then drained off most of the marinade and browned the meat in a skillet over med heat and used them in burritos. Very tender. I loved this recipe and so did my hubby. I will make this again.

This recipe was not as flavorable as I would of like it to be. But the good thing about it is that you can add your own seasoning to it. I used cumin and red chili powder. Used limes instead of lemons. Marinated over night. Grilled it. Taste Great!

I did not care for this marinade, not even sure why...too lemony, too much olive oil???? I even tried to doctor it up with some other herbs and spices...to no avail.
