Cooking Steps

Cook Rice
1
    • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
    • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
  • Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; dice the remaining onion into 1/4-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and dice carrots into 1/4-inch pieces. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into 1/4-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.

    • Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; dice remaining onion into ¼-inch pieces. Trim, peel, and dice carrot into ¼-inch pieces. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro.

Marinate Steak

    • Pat steak* dry with paper towels; thinly slice against the grain.
    • In a medium bowl, combine steak and sliced onion with mustard, half the cumin, half the garlic powder, a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
    • Set aside to marinate until ready to use in Step 6.
  • Carefully stir in beans and their liquid, chicken stock, remaining garlic powder, half the tomato paste, half the cilantro, and 1/4 cup water (1/2 cup for 4). Bring everything up to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, undisturbed, until veggies are soft and flavors have melded, 6-8 minutes.

Start Beans
4
    • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, carrot, bell pepper, remaining cumin, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies begin to brown, 3-4 minutes.
  • Turn heat to low and stir in remaining tomato paste and 1/4 cup water (1/2 cup for 4). Simmer, stirring occasionally, until steak is coated in sauce and steak is cooked to desired doneness, 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

    • Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add steak and onion mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until steak is browned and onion is tender, 3-4 minutes. (For 4 servings, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.)
