About CARNE ASADA MEXICAN-INSPIRED COOKING SAUCE, CARNE ASADA

Good & Gather Carne Asada Mexican-Inspired Cooking Sauce is a jarred cooking and marinade sauce sold under Target's Good & Gather private-label brand. Carne asada is a Mexican preparation typically involving marinated and grilled beef, characterized by citrus, soy, and spice flavors. This cooking sauce is designed to be used as a marinade or simmering sauce for beef or other proteins.

The ingredient list starts with water as the base. Tamari (water, soybeans, salt, sugar) is the second ingredient — tamari is a Japanese-style soy sauce traditionally made without wheat, making this product potentially suitable for gluten-sensitive consumers, though cross-contamination in production should be verified independently. Cane sugar adds sweetness. Distilled vinegar provides acidity. Soybean oil adds fat for mouthfeel. Lime juice concentrate, sea salt, and spices contribute to the citrus-forward flavor profile. Jalapeno puree (jalapeno peppers, salt, acetic acid) provides mild heat. Cilantro, garlic, and onion build the classic carne asada aromatic base. Chipotle pepper powder and ancho chili powder add depth and smokiness. Xanthan gum thickens the sauce. Paprika and paprika extract add color and flavor. Tocopherols (natural vitamin E) are used as a natural antioxidant to protect flavor. Allergens include soy (tamari).
