Everyone has been bugging me for how to make Carlos' favorite meal! Which is actually a dish based on one we had at Gloria Estefan's restaurant, Bongo's at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida. Marinated grilled skirt steak with black beans and rice. At Bongo's they served it with fried plantains/tostones. But I do not do the plantains. I serve it with the back beans and rice and whatever...salad, grilled corn.....
Now to marinate the skirt steak is very simple,
take:
3 tbsp montreal steak seasoning
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup red wine
zest and juice of 1 lime
2 pounds of skirt steak
mix first 5 ingredients together in a small bowl. Place skirt steak in a large container and pour marinade over it. Seal and marinate for2 hours up to overnight. Grill over high heat for about 5 minutes each side. Skirt steak should be served medium rare to ensure juiciness!
For black beans and rice:
1 cup of rice
1 can of black beans, undrained
1/2 small onion, minced
1 bay leaf
1tbs of ground cumin
dash of hot sauce
Cook rice according to package directions. In a small sauce pan, saute onions until soft and opaque. Add the last 3 ingredients and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve beans over the rice and voila! You have Bongos cuban steak and arroz!
