Brown the steak on each side to give it color and extra flavor. Transfer the steak to a 3- or 4-quart slow cooker.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>The best way to get perfectly browned meat is to pat the raw meat completely dry with a paper towel and then let it rest at room temperature for 40 to 45 minutes before putting it on the heat.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the marinade<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Leave the remaining oil in the skillet and add the onion and garlic. Stir until crispy and tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beer and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to loosen the browned bits from the pan. Add the orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce and seasonings and stir to combine.

Let it cool before freezing. It should last in the freezer for around three months.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you&#8217;re ready to eat the carne asada, first thaw it in the refrigerator for eight hours or overnight. Then heat it through in a covered saucepan, stirring gently.

Instead of soy sauce, use a gluten-free soy sauce, also known as tamari. Replace the beer with gluten-free cider, ginger ale, root beer, Coke or beef stock. If you&#8217;re serving the carne asada with tortillas, make sure to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-corn-tortillas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-corn-tortillas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">corn tortillas<\/a> and not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-tortillas\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-tortillas\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">flour tortillas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you serve carne asada?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The best way to serve carne asada is with tortillas and your favorite taco toppings. We like to pile on pico de gallo, crumbled Cotija cheese, cubed avocado and fresh cilantro leaves. Diced white onions or charred scallions, radishes, sauteed bell peppers, fire-roasted corn, jalapenos, guacamole, and a big squeeze of lime all go well with carne asada, too.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While carne asada makes great taco meat, it also works on burrito bowls, taco salads, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cilantro-lime-rice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/cilantro-lime-rice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cilantro lime rice<\/a>, nachos, in a quesadilla and even on fries!
