Ingredients


Fiesta Spring Salad Recipe virtual shopping list

  • 2 Cups Chicken Broth

  • 1 Cup Long- grained white rice

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 can of Black Beans

  • 1 can of sweet corn

  • 1/2 LB. Tomatillos- 8 Husked, washed, and quartered

  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice, Plus wedges for serving

  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro- Chopped

  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil

  • 1 1/4 Lb. Skirt Steak Cut into pieces


Cooking Directions

  1. Combine the broth, rice, salt, and pepper in a medium pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and all the broth is absorbed, 15-20 minutes.

  2. Stir in beans. Add sweet corn. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cover.

  3. Puree the tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro, and a 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. You want it to be coarsely pureed. (If it gets too stiff add no more than 1/4 cup of water)

  4. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until the steak reads 130F degrees internally. Let rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain.

  5. Serve the steak and salsa over the rice. Top with additional cilantro. Enjoy your Fiesta Spring Salad Recipe !
