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.

BLACK BEAN-CHORIZO STEW



Black Bean-Chorizo Stew image

This chili-like stew relies on spicy, fresh green chorizo for its bright, zesty flavor. It only takes half an hour to make your own green chorizo, but you can substitute any kind of fresh (uncured) store-bought sausage, as long as it's got a kick. Then add some chopped garlic, along with minced parsley and roasted poblano pepper for the green factor. Serve it over rice, or with corn or flour tortillas on the side. Here are several other dishes you can make with chorizo.

Time 1h45m
