A Cuban-inspired combo of cumin-rubbed steak, yellow rice
and marinated fresh tomatoes.
CITRUS-MARINATED TOMATO SALAD OVER STEAK
1/4 cup prepared Italian salad dressing
1/2 teaspoon grated orange or lemon peel
1 pound fully ripened fresh Florida tomatoes, diced (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 package (6-8 ounces) yellow or Spanish rice mix
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound beef round cube steaks pounded thin (4 steaks)
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 bag (about 12 ounces) mixed salad greens
In a medium-sized bowl, combine salad dressing and orange peel.
Add tomatoes; toss gently; let stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare rice
according to package directions. In a cup, combine salt, cumin and pepper; rub
into steaks. In a large skillet (preferably nonstick), over medium-high heat,
heat 1 teaspoon of the oil. Cook 2 steaks at a time, turning once, until browned
on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, about 1-1/2 minutes per side for
medium (use remaining oil as needed). Spoon cooked rice on 4 serving plates,
dividing equally. Top with steaks, salad greens and marinated tomatoes.
