"To eat steak rare... represents both a nature and a morality." -Roland Barthes, Philosopher

The refrigerator light goes on...

Simple, simple, simple. This great steak dish takes all of about 20 or 25 minutes to make and is so satisfying. If you want it a bit spicier, you can add more (or less) cayenne pepper, but your favorite hot sauce can give it an altogether different flavor.


 

Cumin Dusted Flank Steak with Black Beans

Servings: 2 | Serving size: 4 ounces steak with black beans

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied and makes good leftovers. Try tossing the thinly sliced steak and leftover beans into a salad.

Ingredients

Place a large skillet in the oven and preheat to 425°F.

While the oven is preheating place the olive oil in a second large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.

Add the black beans and cook for about 3 minutes.

Add the yellow pepper, lime juice, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and toss well. Reduce the heat to low. Add the green onions and toss.

Dust the steaks with the remaining 1 teaspoon ground cumin. Remove the pan from the oven and spray with oil. Place the steaks in the pan and return the pan to the oven. Cook on the first side for about 8 - 9 minutes.

Turn and cook for another 6 - 8 minutes. Remove the steak from the oven and let rest for about 3 minutes. Slice and serve the steak with the black beans.
