- 2.5 lbs Steak skirt, top sirloin, flat iron, or top-blade
- 3 cloves Garlic
- ½ Lime more for serving
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil for grilling
- 1 head Butter lettuce or 2 heads of romaine lettuce
- 2 cups White long-grain rice rinsed
- 1 can Black beans 15 oz
Chimichurri Verde with Lime
- 1 cup Flat leaf parsley
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- ½ tsp Red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- ½ Lime
- 2 Tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Marinate the steak with chopped garlic, lime juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Keep the steak covered and refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or overnight.
Cook 2 cups of white long-grain rice with 4 cups of water in a covered sauce pan. Cook on high heat for 5 minutes, or until the water starts to boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Once the rice is done cooking, fluff the rice with a rice paddle or a fork.
Preheat the grill to 450° F. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes. The medium-cooked steak's internal temperature will be around 140–145° F. Remove from grill and let steak rest for 5 minutes. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Pour 1 can of black beans into a bowl and microwave for 30 seconds to warm it up.
Spoon rice, black beans, steak, and chimichurri onto a piece of lettuce. Squeeze a little lime juice on top and wrap up the lettuce leaf.
Chimichurri Verde with Lime
Finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Add them to a bowl.
To the bowl, add dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Also add lime juice and zest.
Gently stir to mix.
