Instructions

1. 1Sear the steak

   Season 5 oz of steak generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a very hot cast iron pan, 3-4 minutes per side for medium. Rest 5 minutes, then slice thin against the grain.

2. 2Warm the grain

   If your rice is pre-cooked, microwave 1 cup of rice with a splash of water for 90 seconds. If cooking from scratch, follow the package.

3. 3Cook the veg

   Steam or microwave 1/2 cup of black beans until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. You want it bright, not mushy.

4. 4Build the bowl

   Rice goes in first, then the protein on top, then the vegetable alongside.

5. 5Sauce it

   Drizzle 2 tbsp of salsa over everything and toss or leave layered — your call.

6. 6Add the cheese

   Scatter 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the top while everything's still warm so it melts slightly.
