Ingredients
- ¾ lb flank or skirt steak
- 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 whole lime
- 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice
- ¾ cup black beans, drained
- 2 cups fresh spinach or collards
- 2 whole eggs
Instructions
- 1
Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
- 3
Sear steak 90 seconds per side without moving it—center stays rare to medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board.
- 4
Mash 2 chipotle peppers with 1 tbsp adobo sauce and juice of half the lime. Brush onto warm steak; let rest 2 minutes.
- 5
In the same skillet, sauté spinach with a pinch of salt until wilted, about 60 seconds. Push to the side.
- 6
Warm black beans in the skillet, then crack both eggs into an empty spot. Cook until whites set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
- 7
Divide rice between two bowls. Top with sliced steak, sautéed greens, black beans, and one fried egg per bowl.
- 8
Squeeze remaining lime wedge over top. Serve with crispy fries on the side.
