Carne Bistec

I started my week of SkinnyTaste meals with Carne Bistec. I used basmati rice, and it was the perfect choice! I almost used jasmine, but I think this was a much better choice (it's the kind you get at Indian restaurants)

It was really easy to make, I did however substitute a small can of tomato sauce, for actual tomatoes. My husband does not like chunks of tomato at all. I went pretty heavy on the cumin and garlic powder, but did not measure them. I went more by smell.



It smelled so good I couldn't wait to eat it...I almost forgot a picture, and had to get a picture of my leftovers, so please excuse the cheap tupperware. My husband really liked it, his only complaint was that there was too much onion. I used about half of a big yellow onion. I thought it was the perfect amount.



The rice took about 15 minutes to cook, and the rest only took about 8 minutes. It was very quick. I am so excited for tomorrows Cinco de Mayo dinner, the lime shrimp avocado salad...I am also making Mango Margaritas, with fresh pureed mango! YUM!
