Juicy Steak Rice Bowl (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Beef

01 - 1½ tsp sea salt
02 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper
03 - 2 tbsp light cooking oil (canola, avocado, or grapeseed)
04 - 1½-2 pounds of skirt beef

→ Toppings and Sides

05 - Cooked white rice (2-3 cups)
06 - Handful of fresh cilantro (optional)
07 - 1 cup of chimichurri made with cilantro
08 - Pinch of flaky salt (only if you want)
09 - Pickled onions (optional)
10 - Lime edges for squeezing (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Dry off the beef with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Leave it out for about 15 minutes to rest.
02 - Whip up a batch of cilantro chimichurri as you like it.
03 - Heat a heavy pan (like cast iron) on super high for 5 minutes. Pour in oil and evenly fry the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side for a medium-rare doneness (125-130°F).
04 - Take the steak off the heat and give it 5 to 10 minutes to chill before slicing thinly against the fibers of the meat.
05 - Spread cooked rice into each dish. Layer with your sliced beef and coat with chimichurri.
06 - Top the dish with extras like flaky salt, pickled onions, lime, or cilantro if you're feeling fancy.

# Notes:

01 - Other types of beef can be swapped in.
02 - Roasted plantains make for a tasty pairing.
03 - Feel free to throw in extras like fresh corn or some avocado.
