BLACK BEANS AND RICE(ARROZ CON FRIJOLES NEGROS)
I know what you're thinking, black beans and rice, kind of plain, right? But not this recipe--from Goya. My husband thought, "Ok, beans and rice, I already love those, what can be so different about this recipe?" He had to eat his words, along with the beans and rice, lol. With the addition of a few simple things, wow, these are delicious! And so simple, a really quick side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the garlic, 1 teaspoon each cumin and oregano and the lime juice in a small baking dish. Add the steak, turn to coat and season well with salt and pepper; set aside at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the black beans with their liquid, the rice, 1 cup water, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium saucepan.

Remove from the heat and set aside.

Grill the steaks until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare; transfer to a cutting board.
