Ingredients

Rice:

  • 1.5 cups (300g) medium grain rice
  • 1.5 cups (355ml) of water
  • 1.5 Tbsps (21g) unsalted butter
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • handful of fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • salt to taste

Beans:

  • 2 jalapenos, sliced
  • 5 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 2 slices of bacon, sliced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cans of black beans, drained
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (110g) mayo
  • 1/2 cup (110g) sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) garlic powder
  • 2 tsp (6g) smoked paprika
  • 2 Tbsp (28g) hot sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steak and Toppings:

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced ¼ “ thick
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, sliced ¼ “ thick
  • 4 new york strip steaks (at least 1 inch thick)
  • vegetable oil for searing
  • ½ cup(112g) unsalted butter for basting
  • 1 head of garlic
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 block of Monterey jack cheese for grating
  • cilantro for garnish, finely chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Directions

Rice:

  1. Wash your rice and place in a rice cooker along with the water. (You can also use a pressure cooker and cut the cooking time in half, about 15 min.)
  2. Once the rice is cooked, place in a bowl; add butter, salt to taste, lime juice, and cilantro. Mix until butter is fully melted and incorporated.

Beans:

  1. Set a medium saucepan on medium heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot and nearly smoking, add bacon, garlic, and jalapenos; cook stirring often, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in bay leaves and beans. Next, add chicken stock, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, add all ingredients, and stir to combine.

Steak and Toppings:

  1. Season your NY Strip with salt and pepper on both sides, generously. Set a 12 inch pan over medium high heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot and nearly smoking, add 2 steaks and sear for 2-3 minutes or until you get a nice golden brown crust, flip and reduce heat to medium sear for 1 minute then add half your butter, one half of your garlic, tilt the pan at an angle so the butter pools on one side. Using a large spoon baste the foaming butter over the steak repeatedly until medium rare (135 fahrenheit internal temperature). Remove from the pan, and rest 15 minutes. Repeat with the other 2 steaks. 
  2. Separately set another medium size pan over medium heat, and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot and nearly smoking, add your pepper and onions; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened and lightly charred, about 8 minutes.
  3. At this point, your steaks should be rested, slice each of them against the grain about ⅓ inch thick.

Assembly:

  1. In your favorite bowl, add as much rice as you desire, steak, a spoonful or two of your veggies, freshly grated cheese, a dollop of your beans, avocado slices, and finally a dollop of your sauce. Garnish with cilantro and flaky salt. Enjoy immediately.
