Method

For the Carne Asada

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and ensure it is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Once cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    After slicing the steak, sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top for added flavor.

For the Rice

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a large pot, combine the long-grain white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the 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 sit, covered, for another 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

For the Beans

  1. 5

    Prepare the Beans

    In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the canned black beans (drained and rinsed), cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.
