Steak and rice is always a winning combination—especially when you spice it all up with bold Tex-Mex flavors and fresh lime juice. You’ll pile tender spiced steak and onion atop zesty lime rice. Drizzle your bowls with tangy red pepper-lime crema and finish with homemade pico de gallo for added brightness and voila! Dinner is served.

Instructions

Step 1
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, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Step 2

Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; finely chop a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Zest and quarter lime. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces.

Step 3
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over high heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

While onion cooks, in a small bowl, combine red pepper crema, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice. In a separate small bowl, combine chopped onion, tomato, and a squeeze of lime juice; season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Pat steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Once onion has cooked 3-5 minutes, add steak to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in Tex-Mex paste (use less if you don’t like things spicy!) and stock concentrate. Cook, stirring, until steak is coated and cooked to desired doneness, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in a squeeze of lime juice.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in a pinch of lime zest. Divide rice between bowls; top with Tex-Mex steak and drizzle with red pepper-lime crema. Top with pico de gallo and serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
