Ingredients

The Rice





Marinade & Beef







The Accompaniments





Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the steak. In the same blender, combine the canola oil, oregano, cumin, bay leaves, garlic, and lime zest and juice. Blend until smooth. Place the steaks into a zip lock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal and allow to marinate on the counter for 1 hour.

Step 2

Prepare the BBQ on high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and season with salt. Grill over medium high heat, about 5-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 130*-135* with a digital instant read thermometer. Remove and allow the meat to rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the Dainty Basmati Rice according to package instructions.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in the bowl of a blender, combine the cilantro, spinach, garlic, and jalapeno, if using. Add a few splashed of water if needed in order for it to catch. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

To finish the rice, pour in the spinach puree and fold together. Mix until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Slice the steak thin and place on a platter.

Step 7

To serve, spoon some rice on the base of a tortilla, a few slices of steak, salsa of choice, and a bit of lettuce and onion. If using add cheese!

 

Note from the chef

You can marinate the meat overnight and be ready to BBQ and serve up much faster.
