What you’ll need:

CHIPOTLE PEPPER STEAK

• 3 lbs ribeye steak

• 3 chipotle peppers with adobo sauce (2 tsps)

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• 1/2 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp dried oregano

What you’ll need:

The Best Beans EVER

• 15oz (1 can) organic black beans

• 2 garlic cloves

• 1/2 tsp chicken bullion powder

• 1/8 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/8 tsp paprika

• 1/4 tsp chili powder

• salt

• black pepper

• 1 shallot or onion

• cilantro

Instructions:

*Make sure all protein and veggies are washed and dried

1. Prep steak— slice steak into bite sized cubes and transfer to mixing bowl— season with chopped adobo peppers with adobo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, garlic salt, and dried oregano. Mix well and let marinate while prepping beans.

2. Prep beans— open can and drain excess liquid— transfer beans to a mixing bowl and season with fresh pressed garlic, chicken bullion, onion powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper— mix well and set aside.

3. Peel butter layer of shallot or onion off and discard— chop shallot into small pieces and set aside.

4. Add some olive oil to a skillet pan and heat to medium-high — sauce shallot until fragrant and then add in seasoned black beans. Stir fry until beans are warmed through and beans are well combined.

5. Turn off burner and transfer beans to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and set aside.

6. To a clean skillet pan, add some olive oil and heat up to medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, carefully add in one even layer of steak— be careful not to overcrowd or else steak won’t have color and will “steam” cook instead of pan fry. Do not disturb steak for a few minutes so that way steak will have some color— continue stir frying until steak is cooked to your liking.

7. Transfer steak to a serving dish and lets assemble our bowls!

8. To a personal serving bowl, add in some salad or greens or choice ( I love using spinach or mixing spinach with romaine lettuce), followed by OUR beans and steak!

9. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and fresh squeeze lime juice— ENJOY.
