Ingredients

200g (7 oz) flank steak
70g (1/3 cup) white rice, dry
150g (1 medium) bell pepper, in strips
80g (1 small) onion, sliced
1 tbsp (12ml) olive oil
6g (2 cloves) garlic, minced
30ml (2 tbsp) lime juice
2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp fine salt, black pepper, coriander

Method

Cook the rice: 70g to 140ml / generous 1/2 cup water, covered, 12 min, then 10 min off the heat.
Rub the steak with half the spices and the salt and leave it at room temperature while the rice cooks.
Get the pan very hot. Sear the steak 3 min a side for medium rare, then move it to a board.
Rest it a full 8 minutes. Flank is a muscle that has worked, and slicing it early loses the juice and the tenderness together.
In the same pan, char the peppers and onion 6 min with the rest of the spices, barely stirring.
Add the garlic for the last 30 seconds.
Slice the steak thinly ACROSS the grain - with the grain it is chewy no matter how well you cooked it.
Build the bowl and squeeze the lime over everything.

Tip: across the grain, always. Flank steak sliced the wrong way is tough even when it is cooked perfectly.
