  • 1½ cups280 gLong-grain white rice, dryrinsed
  • 2 cups500 gWater
  • 2 medium240 gRed bell pepperquartered
  • 1 medium110 gRed onioncut into thick rings

  • 2 tbsp30 gApple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup60 gOlive oil
  • ¾ tsp5 gSalt
  • ¾ tsp2 gBlack pepper
  • ½ lime, juiced22 gLime juice

Steps

  1. Make the chimichurri first: in a bowl stir the parsley, two-thirds of the garlic, the oregano, the red pepper flakes, the cider vinegar, 45 g (3 tablespoons) of the olive oil and a quarter of the salt; set aside so the flavors meld.
  2. Cook the rice: in a pot heat 5 g (1 teaspoon) of the olive oil, stir in the remaining third of the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the rice, the water and a quarter of the salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes, then rest covered off the heat for 10 minutes.
  3. While the rice cooks, preheat the grill to medium-high. Pat the flank steak dry and season it with half of the salt and all of the black pepper.
  4. Toss the bell pepper and red onion with the remaining 10 g (2 teaspoons) of olive oil.
  5. Grill the steak 4 to 6 minutes per side until it reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part, grilling the bell pepper and red onion alongside until charred and tender, about 8 minutes. Rest the steak 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  6. Warm the black beans in a small pan or microwave. Slice the grilled bell pepper into strips.
  7. Fluff the rice with the lime juice and divide among 4 bowls. Top with the black beans, steak, bell pepper, red onion and cherry tomatoes, then spoon the chimichurri over each bowl.
