Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 lb beef with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the beef in a single layer and cook without stirring until browned and crispy on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more until browned but still tender.

  3. Step 3

    Remove beef to a plate. Reduce heat to medium, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the 1 sliced onion. Cook, stirring, until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 1 can black beans and 2 cups cooked rice to the skillet. Stir and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes, until steaming.

  5. Step 5

    Return beef to the skillet, toss with the rice and beans, and sprinkle with the 1/4 cup cilantro. Serve hot.
