Side Salad

Rice and Beans

Tortillas

Method

Preparing the Steak

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Steak

    Place the T-bone steaks in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Preparing the Side Salad

  1. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Roughly chop the romaine lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.

  2. 5

    Mix the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

Preparing the Rice and Beans

  1. 8

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the white rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

  2. 9

    Heat the Beans

    In a separate saucepan, combine the canned black beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.

Preparing the Tortillas

  1. 10

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
