Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Pack Trader Joe’s Carne Asada
- Carne asada marinades: Lime juice, garlic cloves (minced), fresh cilantro (chopped), olive oil.
- Seasoning for carne asada: Salt, black pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika (optional).
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. This temperature setting ensures a good sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
- Take the marinated Trader Joe’s Carne Asada out of the fridge. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to reach room temperature for even cooking.
- Place the carne asada in the air fryer basket. Make sure it’s spread out evenly for consistent cooking.
- Cook for 5 minutes. Then, flip the carne asada to ensure even browning and cooking on both sides.
- Continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Check the meat doneness with a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
- Once done, let the carne asada rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This step is crucial for keeping it juicy.
- Slice against the grain for the tenderest eating experience.
Notes
Always allow your cooked carne asada to rest before slicing to ensure maximum juiciness and flavor.
