Method
Preparing the Beef Tenderloin
- 1
Season the Beef
Pat the beef tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
- 2
Sear the Beef
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

Sauté Aromatics
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Cook Rice
Add the white rice to the saucepan and stir for 1-2 minutes. Then, pour in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is fluffy.

Heat Beans
In the last 5 minutes of rice cooking, add the canned black beans (drained and rinsed) to the rice. Stir to combine and let heat through.
Preparing Vegetables

Chop and Sauté Vegetables
Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped vegetables. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Making Chorizo Crumble

Cook Chorizo
In a small skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the chorizo sausage. Cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
