INGREDIENTS

  • Beef

    • 🥩 1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak

  • Vegetables

    • 6 medium poblano chile peppers
    • 🍅 1 1/2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
    • 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 🍋 Optional: lime wedges for serving

  • Grains and Legumes

    • 🍚 2 cups cooked brown rice
    • 1 can reduced-sodium black beans, drained and rinsed

  • Seasonings and Marinade

    • 🍋 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional Toppings

    • Toasted, shelled pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
    • Crumbled queso fresco

STEPS

1

Wash hands with soap and water.

2

Drain tomatoes, reserving juice for marinade. Set aside diced tomatoes with green chiles.

3

Combine reserved tomato juice, 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1/3 cup marinade for rice. Place beef flank steak and remaining marinade in a food-safe plastic bag. Turn steak to coat and marinate in refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.

4

In a medium bowl, combine rice, reserved 1/3 cup marinade, diced tomatoes, black beans, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.

5

Cut a slit lengthwise down 1 side of each poblano pepper, leaving the stem and tip intact. Make a small crosswise cut below the stem to form a T-shaped opening. Remove seeds and membranes carefully. Spoon rice mixture evenly into peppers and wrap each tightly in aluminum foil.

6

Discard marinade from beef. Grill steak over medium heat for 11-16 minutes (or 16-21 minutes on a gas grill) for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. Grill peppers for 25-30 minutes until tender and filling is heated through, turning occasionally.

7

Carve steak across the grain into thin slices. Remove foil from peppers and serve with steak and optional toppings.
