Ingredients

2 to 2 1/4 pounds flank steak
1 1/2 tablespoons grill seasoning, a palm full and a half
1 tablespoons dark Mexican chili powder, a palm full
1 lime, zested
Cooking spray or oil to coat grill or grill pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup white rice
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons hot sauce, eyeball it
1 pound small to medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves or flat-leaf parsley
Salt
2 ripe beefsteak tomatoes, sliced
2 Hass avocados, halved, scooped from skin and sliced
1/2 lemon
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled queso Asadero

Directions

Preheat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to high. Rub the meat with a mixture of grill seasoning, chili powder and the lime zest. Let meat stand 10 minutes. Grease grill surface then add meat and cook 7 to 8 minutes on the first side, 5 to 6 minutes on the flip side for medium doneness.

For the rice, heat a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Add butter, and when melted add rice and toast for a couple of minutes. Add the onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic and cook for a few minutes to begin to soften the veggies. Add stock and raise heat to bring up to a bubble. Stir in the tomato paste and hot sauce. Reduce heat to simmer, cover the pot and cook 18 minutes, until rice is tender. Add shrimp to the pot in the last 5 minutes of cooking. The shrimp will steam on top of the rice. Cook the shrimp until pink and firm. Combine the seafood and cilantro into the rice and season with salt, to taste.

Season sliced tomatoes with salt and dress the avocado with lemon juice. Make 4 stacks alternating the tomatoes with avocado and onions.

Slice the steaks and serve on a bed of shrimp rice, the guacamole stacks alongside. Garnish the guacamole stacks with cheese crumbles.

better way to make the plaintains
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The correct way and more tastefull way to make plaintains is to cut the ends of and peel the skins off, cut them about 1 inch... thick, heat a pan with vegetable oil, place the plaintains in and lightly brown them, take them out, you need to mash them down with a flat surface, i like to use the bottom of a cup or can, place the plaintains back in the pan, and cook for another minute or so, till they get thoroughly cookedRead more

Loved the rice and hubby loved the steak!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was awesome and I don't even eat beef! However, I don't have a problem making it for my husband and he said it... was excellent. The rice was awesome! I actually added a few more ingredients and it actually turned out to be more like a spanish jambalaya (if there is such a thing). Regardless, it was yummo! I added a can of rotel and some sazon seasoning and it gave it lots of flavor. It did take a bit longer than expected, but it was worth the wait!Read more

The rice is the star!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Saw this episode Friday night and I knew I had to make it for the weekend. The steak was ok, but the star of this show was... definetly the rice. My rice took double the amount of liquid called for in the recipe so keep more on hand and add it as needed. Also this entire dish as written took me about 90 minutes to make, so it's definetly not a quick meal. The rice took about 45 minutes to make, there was about 15 minutes of chopping for the rice, and then just time to marinate the steaks, etc. I highly recommend the rice. That was the star of the show and the only part of this recipe that I would make again. For next time, I would add frozen peas and some cooked chicken as well and make it a paella. Overall the rice is delicious. I only gave this recipe 4 stars and not 5 becuase of the time it took to make and I didn't care for the steak portion.Read more
