Mexican Flank Steak


I know that I post dishes like this all the time, and really it's because they are both super easy and super tasty.  For this dinner I cranked out the entire thing in about 30 minutes with no prep ahead of time.  Ready to see how to do it?

Start:
00:00 - Start grill, or grill pan, over medium high heat
00:01 - Put 14.5oz can of black beans and package of yellow rice into pot, add about 1.5 cups of water and put, covered, on medium low heat.
00:03 - Wash peppers and tomatoes that you will put into the salsa, collect red onion, avocado and lime ... put all of the afore mentioned by a cutting board
00:04 - Put steak into a large ziplock baggie, sprinkle steak with salt, garlic pepper and some Magi sauce.  Toss the bag to mix well.
00:05 - Put steak on the grill
00:06 - Chop the salsa ingredients and put into a large mixing bowl ... squeeze the juice of the lime and add some salt and pepper ... stir well to combine all ingredients
00:10 - Stir the rice, give a 1/4 turn of the steak
00:11 - Have a sip of wine, time is looking good ...
00:12 - You're still hanging out at this point, so enjoy some more wine, set the table, don't forget to stir the rice every couple of minutes
00:15 - Flip the steak
00:20 - How's that rice looking?  At this point the water should be pretty much gone, kill the heat to the burner and leave the rice covered.
00:25 - Transfer the steak to a cutting board to allow it to rest for a couple of minutes (note that it will let some juices out, so you may want a board with an edge
00:28 - Slice the steak, remembering to cut against the grain with flank steak
00:29 - Plate the rice, then the steak and then top with the salsa ... enjoy!
