Citrus Carne Asada Marinade Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Citrus Carne Asada Marinade Recipe). I have used this recipe for a number of years, and most often marinate enough steak for a few meals. After the marinade time, the steak can be frozen in meal-sized portions for quick meals later. The flavor of this carne asada is much better, and the meat much more tender, than any I have had in Mexican restaurants. If cut in strips, this meat also works very well for fajitas. Serve with tortillas, Mexican rice, and beans.
