Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef steak
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups collard greens
  • 1 large tomato
  • 1 medium onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the 1 lb beef steak with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to your liking. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    While the meat rests, make the orange sauce: simmer 1/2 cup orange juice in a small pan until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, until slightly syrupy.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, toss 2 cups cooked rice with 1 chopped tomato and 1/2 sliced onion. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Quickly wilt 2 cups collard greens in a hot pan with a splash of water, about 2 minutes, until bright green and tender.

  5. 5

    Slice the rested beef and arrange on a platter with the rice, greens, and remaining onion rings. Drizzle with the orange sauce and serve.
