Ingredients
- 1.5 lb flank steak
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup beef broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup white rice
- 4 medium radishes
Instructions
- 1
Season the 1.5 lb flank steak with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
- 2
Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 sliced onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook, stirring, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Pour in 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup beef broth. Scrape up any browned bits. Return the steak to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.
- 5
Cover and simmer over low heat until the steak is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 20-25 minutes. The steak should be fork-tender.
- 6
Meanwhile, cook 1 cup white rice according to package directions. Slice 4 radishes thinly.
- 7
Slice the steak against the grain. Serve over the rice, spoon the sauce on top, and garnish with radish slices, fresh cilantro, and a lemon wedge if you have them.
