Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 8 ounces Trifecta Flat Iron Steak
  • 1 teaspoon oil for searing the steak and sautéing the veggies
  • 1/2 cup corn (optional) for added sweetness and color
  • 1/2 number yellow onion, small diced
  • 1 number bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup Trifecta brown rice use broth for extra flavor
  • 1 cup green leaf lettuce (optional) for topping
  • 1 number jalapeno (optional) for heat
  • Red Pepper Flakes to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat your Trifecta Flat Iron Steak dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper, and let it sit until it reaches room temperature.
  2. In a pot, bring 1 cup of Trifecta Brown Rice to a simmer. Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for extra flavor.
Cooking
  1. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, adding in 1 teaspoon of oil. When the oil shimmers, lay the steak in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for that delicious medium-rare finish.
  2. Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board and let it rest. This is crucial for juicy, tender meat!
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and toss in the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté until soft and slightly charred, around 5 minutes. If using, throw in the corn for added color and sweetness.
  4. Cut your rested steak thinly against the grain.
Assembly
  1. Start with a layer of fragrant rice, then pile on the sautéed veggies, and top with slices of steak. Add toppings like green leaf lettuce, sliced jalapeños, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Serving
  1. Enjoy immediately and relish the symphony of flavors!

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to aim for 130°F for medium-rare. You can swap proteins, such as chicken or shrimp, and add spices like cumin or smoked paprika for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container, or frozen for up to a month.
