Method

For the Skirt Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the skirt steak in the mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For the Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

For the Salad

  1. 4

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, diced tomato, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
