CUBAN STEAK WITH BLACK BEANS AND RICE



Cuban Steak with Black Beans and Rice image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can black beans, undrained
1 cup converted long-grain white rice
2 bell peppers (red, orange and/or yellow), thinly sliced into rings
1 white onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
1/2 cup pimento-stuffed green olives

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. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Combine the bell peppers, onion, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Grill the peppers and onion, turning occasionally, until browned in spots and crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Return to the bowl, add the olives and toss. Grill the steaks until browned, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare; transfer to a cutting board.
  • Fluff the rice and divide among plates. Slice the steak and serve with the rice, vegetables and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Soak the black beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Rinse the beans thoroughly before cooking: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
  • Season the dish to taste: Use your favorite spices and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
  • Serve the dish with your favorite toppings: This could include salsa, sour cream, avocado, or cheese.

Conclusion:

Black beans and rice is a delicious, healthy, and affordable meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
