That being said, all of the carne asada recipes have key ingredients that make the steak so tender and flavorful: citrus, spices and oil. Citrus juices and tamari sauce tenderize and bring out a deep rich flavor in the meat. A spice blend of ground cumin, garlic powder, salt and crushed red pepper flakes season the steak to perfection.
Pretty much any cut of beef that lends itself well to grilling will work for this Keto Carne Asada, but if using skirt or flank steak, be sure to slice it thinly and against the grain to keep it tender. You can serve this Keto Carne Asada with no sauce and it will still be delicious, or with any of your favorite keto sauces for grilled beef.
Ladle the beans into bowls for each guest. Spoon a portion of guacamole onto each plate, along with a steak. Smear a little of the marinade you reserved over each steak. Warm tortillas, some salsa and a big salad are always welcome with carne asada.
Most Mexican grocery stores sell thinly sliced beef ready to marinade for carne asada but if you can’t find precut beef, it just takes one extra step to slice your own. I prefer slicing the beef before marinating and grilling. That way each slice delivers intense taste and a large surface area for charring.
