INGREDIENTS

6 oz flank steak

0.5 cup white rice, cooked

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh cilantro

1 clove garlic

0.5 tsp cumin

0.5 tsp chili powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

• 2

  Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is thoroughly coated on all sides.

• 3

  Allow the steak to marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

• 4

  Preheat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot.

• 5

  Place the steak in the pan and sear for approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.

• 6

  Remove the steak from the heat and transfer it to a cutting board; let it rest for 5 to 8 minutes to lock in the juices.

• 7

  While the meat rests, fluff the warm cooked rice in a bowl and gently fold in the fresh chopped cilantro.

• 8

  Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain and serve immediately over the cilantro-lime rice.
