Ingredients
- For the steak:
- 1 1/2 lbs steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- For the savory tomato rice:
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper and let rest at room temperature.
- In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add garlic and tomato paste, cook for 1 minute. Stir in rice, paprika, oregano, diced tomatoes, and broth.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness.
- Let steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
- Serve sliced steak over tomato rice, garnished with herbs and optional lime or olive oil drizzle.
Notes
- Add jalapeños or cayenne for heat.
- Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smokier flavor.
- Stir in frozen peas or corn for extra texture.
- Top rice with melted cheese for an indulgent twist.
