🇺🇸 United States · Southwestern
Ingredients
- 1 lb flank or skirt steak
- 1½ Tbsp olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 lime, juiced (divided)
- 1½ cups uncooked brown rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 small onion, diced (divided)
- 1 large tomato, diced
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- ¼ tsp salt
- 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 8 oz sour cream
Steps
- Gather and prepare all ingredients.
- Mince the garlic and combine with olive oil, cumin, salt, and juice from half the lime to make a marinade. Reserve the other lime half for the pico de gallo.
- Add the steak to the marinade in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, coat well, and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
- Cook the rice according to package instructions, substituting chicken broth for water.
- Dice the tomato and half of the onion. Combine with juice from the remaining lime half, ¼ tsp salt, and a handful of chopped cilantro to make pico de gallo. Stir, taste, and adjust salt as needed.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Cook the steak 3-5 minutes per side until deeply golden brown.
- Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the remaining onion half and cook in the same skillet about 3 minutes until caramelized.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain.
- Assemble bowls with 1 cup rice, ¼ cup each of beans, caramelized onions, corn, and pico de gallo, a few slices of steak, cilantro sprigs, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot.
