I am so excited to be partnering with my friends over at True Aussie Beef & Lamb to bring you this Whole30 Carne Asada Bowls recipe! This is the perfect meal for kicking off grilling season and summer! This marinated and grilled Australian grassfed flank steak is incredibly easy to make. The marinade is packed with real ingredients like lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, jalapeño, and cumin.
Why Should I Use Australian Grassfed Beef?
Australia produces some of the highest quality, healthiest, and most nutritious beef and lamb in the world. They keep care for both the animals and the environment at the core of everything they do. Which is why I am proud to be working with them!
With cattle raised on pasture, Australian grassfed beef products are lean and naturally contain 13 essential nutrients required for good health, including Iron, Zinc, Omega-3 and B vitamins. Grassfed beef is naturally leaner, and it tends to cook about 30% faster than traditional meat.

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make these Whole30 Carne Asada Bowls?
The options are endless when it comes to how to eat this Carne Asada. Here I use it in a bowl, but you can also make Street Tacos with it or just eat the steak with your sides of choice.
I used a 2 lb Australian Grassfed flank steak for this recipe. Skirt steak will work as well. It was approximately 3/4 inch – 1 inch thick.
For the marinade you’ll need:
- 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1 orange, juiced
- chopped cilantro
- cumin
- chili powder
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- coconut aminos
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- sea salt
For the bowls I used:
- My Coconut Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
- Roasted Peppers, Onions and Mushrooms (Just tossed them with 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper and roasted for 20-25 minutes at 425).
- Avocado, diced
- Tomatoes
- Jalapeños, sliced
- Limes for squeezing
And if you’re making tacos, I highly recommend Siete grain free tortillas!
How Long Should I Marinate and Grill the Carne Asada?
I marinated the flank steak for approximately 4 hours. You can also do overnight – but I recommend 3-4 hours minimum for maximum flavor! I used a sealed plastic bag, but you can also place it in a dish (just ensure the beef is covered with the marinade and flip halfway through).
In terms of grilling, these are the times that worked for me:
5 mins per side = rare
6 mins per side = medium rare
7 mins per side = medium
8 mins per side = medium well
9-10 minutes per side = well done
It all depends on how well you like your steak to be cooked! We enjoyed the 7 mins per side the most (pictured below):
