You may not think it is possible to lose weight while on a eating plan which includes barbecued carne asada but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat barbecued carne asada or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself high calorie food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I like – within reason of course.

I have been eating like this for the last month and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet drinks. I have simply been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day of the week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have professional support when trying to lose weight and for that I joined the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Barbecued Carne Asada

The secret to this recipe is in the marinade!

Marinade
1 cup lime juice
1/2 cup vegetable juice cocktail
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley or
    1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 (1 1/2 pound) beef flank steak
2 sweet red or green peppers, cut into thin strips
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
12 (8-inch) flour tortillas
3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup prepared guacamole

To make the marinade, in a medium bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag set into a shallow dish. Pour marinade over steak; close bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally to distribute marinade.

Meanwhile, cut an 18-inch square of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place peppers and sliced onion in center of foil. Dot with butter. Bring up 2 opposite edges of foil and, leaving a little space for expansion of steam, tightly seal top, then each end. Remove steak from marinade, reserving marinade. Place steak in center of cooking grate. Grill 10 to 15 minutes for rare or 15 to 19 minutes for medium, turning and brushing with reserved marinade once halfway through grilling time. Place foil packet of vegetables on the cooking grate beside steak during the last 10 minutes of grilling time.

Wrap tortillas in heavy-duty aluminum foil; place on cooking grate beside steak during the last 5 minutes of grilling time. Turn tortilla packet once halfway through grilling. Slice steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve in tortillas with peppers and onions, salsa, and guacamole.
