Fabulous!!!! I did make one major change, used pork instead. We had a pack of pork steaks and thought to give them a whirl. Was a bit nervous, but trimmed the fat, took out the bones and all was good. Marinated them for about an hour then covered them (with the marinated) with foil and baked them at 300 for about 4 hours. They just fell apart. The sauce and relish were both great too. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was great! I did follow the advice of one of the reviewers and left out the soy sauce and added orange juice, cilantro and chopped onion. I only did the meat part of this recipe, marinated it overnight, and grilled it on high heat. Oh yeah, I didn't have paprika so I put in 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper. It still was edible for my 6 and 3 yr old to eat. This tasted exactly like the carne asada we had in Mexico. Great job! Thanks for the reviews!

Taste is wonderful. I left out the onions because I dont like them. I added a 1 pasilla and 2 ancho chiles to the roasted blended salsa. Really wonderful, added some spice and smokiness. Made a simple tomato, garlic and lime seasoning and threw it all together. Really just great. I found one batch feeds a lot. I saved half and am using it tomorrow. The carne asada seasoning is so good, I think I will make a big batch of the seasoning blend so I can throw this all together quickly later. Yum.

The absolute best recipe for Carne Asada! Make sure your coals are fiery hot and make sure you pat the meat to remove excess liquid. Wow...seriously better than a restaurant!!

I love this meat marinade! I use it for my fajita marinade on a regular basis now. The flavor is awesome.

This had good flavor, but wasn't at all authentic, in my opinion. In Houston, the Mexican population is vast (TONS of Mexican restaurants), but I have never tasted meat like this (I think it had to do with having soy sauce as the base for the marinade). The meat was a bit chewy as well (I used flank steak, and marinated it overnight). I would suggest leaving the meat whole while cooking, lowering the heat some, then slicing it afterward. The "relish" really needed a chopped tomato (which it then becomes "pico de gallo," a 'must' with these types of tacos). The pureed salsa was great, however! As a side note, cotija cheese is often labeled as "Queso Fresco" in the stores. Thanks for the recipe - I'm going to keep looking though.

I made this marinade for steak and put it on the grill, they turned out great.

Are you serious???? The marinade for this recipe is out of this world!!!! It didn't smell that good to me at first, but after we cooked it and I tasted the meat, I almost died of bliss! I made some homemade salsa/pico de gallo to put on top. FABULOUS!

The meat marinade flavor is excellent. I was told to use skirt steak by our store butcher, which was excellent, but went in search of flap meat at Costco (per other reviews due to cost of skirt steak). I live in Arizona and Costco told me not all stores have flap meat, so what's the deal - since Mexican is big here! Anyway, bought tri trip steak (Costco) sliced thin and worked great. I find marinating at least 8 hours is best.

Absolutely fabulous! I couldn't find the exact cut of meat, so I bought a similar cut. We doubled the recipe and had plenty for lunch throughout the week. And they are even better the next day warmed up in the microwave! Thank you for this great recipe!

I served these at a July 4th beach party. There was a church group of 20-somethings there with us. At first they were shy to eat, as we did not know each other personally. But after the first taco went out, they returned in multiples! We even caught the attention of our neighbors next to us on the beach and fed them too! You can cook the meat ahead and just warm it up...it only gets better flavor. They were also requested for our vacation meal where each family contributes a meal. I love a receipe that everyone enjoys, and this is one of those.

This recipe was excellent! I used thin cut sirloin steak because I couldn't find flank, and made my own salsa. The marinade for the meat was great. Thanks so much! Update - I made this for the third time, and finally found the cojita cheese at Wal-Mart. It takes these tacos to a whole different level! Take the time to find this stuff!

This is a very good marinade, I just added a tablespoon of crushed red pepper for a little more spice and its perfect. I wont be buying any marinades for beef any more. Thanks for the great recipe.

This recipe was outstanding. Even my most picky eaters loved it. To save time, I prepared the salsa and relish while the meat was marinating. Then once the meat was cooked everything was ready to go.
