Carne Asada is a fancy way to describe a flavorful, mexican-inspired, marinated steak. In this case, we used flank steak and a special healthy marinade, making a delicious base for just about any meal. Serve this carne asada recipe sliced as the protein in a 1-2-3 Eat! meal, maybe with Mexican Sweet Potato Salad and a bowl of Black Bean Soup. Layer it with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pico and our 90/10 Guacamole in whole grain tortillas for some amazing carne asada tacos. Or arrange it in bowls without the tortillas for a low carb Carne Asada Bowl.
Take note of the marinating time, and plan accordingly.
