This vibrant dish brings Brazilian cuisine right to your table, balancing protein-rich beans and steak with a medley of colorful veggies and a refreshing touch of lime.

Ingredients

  • 1 flat iron steak (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked feijão tropeiro (or black beans)
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 summer squash, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the flat iron steak with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the steak over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    In a skillet, warm the cooked feijão tropeiro over medium heat.

  4. 4

    In another skillet, sauté the zucchini, summer squash, and bell pepper until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Layer the bowl starting with feijão tropeiro, then add the sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, cherry tomatoes, sliced avocado, and cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve the bowl with lime wedges for added zest.

Chef's tip

Ensure the steak is well-rested after grilling to retain juiciness.
