You can still enjoy carne asada cooked on your stove! Pat dry: Pull the flank or skirt steak out of the marinade. Use paper towels to pat the steak dry.

Carne asada is incredibly low in carbs. In my recipe, each 5 oz portion of steak + marinade has just 2 grams of carbs. The full nutrition stats can be found in the recipe card below, but here are the highlights: Is Carne Asada Keto? Yes! Carne asada is keto.
That being said, all of the carne asada recipes have key ingredients that make the steak so tender and flavorful: citrus, spices and oil.

You can freeze the carne asada cooked or raw, as long it hasn’t been frozen previously. If freezing raw, place the steak and the marinade in a large freezer bag and freeze up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw overnight in the fridge and proceed with the recipe as written.
