Need Carne Asada Recipe

  • I need to get a great recipe for Carne Asada. I'd love a Core version but I'll adapt the recipe or count points if I need to. Maybe I'll crosspost this recipe to the regular WW board as well. Thanks in advance!
  • Found this:

    http://bbq.about.com/cs/beef/a/aa122803a.htm

    scroll down to bottom for recipe (says to serve w/salsa and guacomole so you would need to ensure these were core?) Otherwise recipe looks pretty core friendly except for the orange juice? (and of course you would need to count the tortillas if you were using them).

    Here's a couple more: http://www.koolpages.com/hokuspokus/CarneAsada.html ...and one more which is very core: http://beef.allrecipes.com/az/CrnsdTcs.asp

    Remove meat from marinade, reserving marinade.

    Turn steak and tortillas once during cooking.

  • Thanks, Frouf and Carop! I'm thinking I won't have to count many points. For some reason I thought alot of oil was involved.
