    Arepa con Carne Asada is popular Colombian meal. It's a simple dish perfect for lunch or dinner. The grilled steak is full of flavor and the arepa is the perfect complement.

    It was obvious growing up in Colombia that the kitchen was the main part of the house. It seemed that everything revolved around food and mealtimes.

    Mamita and my mom were always busy cooking traditional Colombian food. Homemade arepas were made for almost every meal and a jar of aliños sauce was always in the fridge or freezer waiting to be used as a marinade or as a base for soups and beans.

    Arepa con Carne Asada was a staple in my house for weeknight dinners or weekend breakfast and it is one of my favorite meals. A simple dish that is easy to prepare and full of flavor.

    Buen provecho!

      Erica your carne asada looks delicious and something I can enjoy as diet food. I made something similar last week (kebab) but with minced beef. I would love to try this when I cook beef again.

      This sounds great! But you simply must try some Himalayan pink salt. I get mine from Sustainable Sourcing . The flavor is so much better than regular salt! Thanks for sharing this recipe—I can’t wait to try it!
