Carne Asada Recipe with Green Salsa

24 May

Carne Asada Recipe:  Carne Asada is a roasted beef dish that is extremely easy to prepare.  Next time taco night rolls around, switch things up a bit.

Carne Asada Recipe:  Carne Asada is a roasted beef dish, that literally means “roasted meat”.  Carne Asada is typically made with thin slices of marinated meat, that is grilled and used in tacos and burritos.  This recipe is slightly different.  By using a beef round roast and cooking it in the oven for 3 hours, you get a super flavorful, moist beef that pulls apart easily for perfect taco sized portions.

Although this Carne Asada takes 3 hours to cook, it is extremely easy to prepare.  The green salsa complements the Carne Asada very well, and it adds a nice color to the dish.  Our family loves the crunchy cabbage in our tacos, but, if your not too sure about using cabbage then substitute with lettuce.  Also, you can use just soft tacos or pre-made hard tacos if you like.  Next time taco night rolls around at your house, try this recipe instead of the typical seasoned ground beef tacos.

I have been cooking this Chinese Pepper Steak for a while now and everyone just loves it. Don’t be hesitant, try it for yourself.

For those not familiar with Chinese Pepper Steak, let me give you a quick run down. Chinese Pepper Steak is basically a stir fried Chinese-American dish which consists of sliced steak, green bell peppers, and onions. The best part about this dish is the delicious tasting sauce, a mixture of soy sauce, beef broth, water, corn starch and in my recipe, margarine. I have been cooking this for awhile now and everyone just loves it. Don’t be hesitant, try it for yourself.

These Garlic Grilled Lamb Chops are a great lamb recipe.  If you are new to cooking or eating lamb, this is a good starter recipe, it tastes great and is easy to make.  There are many health benefits to eating lamb.  First off, you can often find local lamb products at your community farmers market.  I find meat from local farms, tastes so much better then the stuff you get in large grocery stores.  Animals are treated more humanly on smaller, organic farms, and not feed all the hormones and antibiotics like they too often are on large meat ranches.
