Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thread beef cubes onto metal or wooden skewers. Season generously with coarse salt and pepper on all sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high until very hot. Grill skewers 2 minutes per side for medium-rare; edges should char.

  3. Step 3

    While meat grills, melt butter in a skillet over medium. Toast cassava flour 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant, then set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Warm rice and beans in a small pot or microwave until heated through, about 3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk vinegar with 3 tbsp water and a pinch of salt. Toss with fresh tomatoes or cucumber if available for a quick salad.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange skewers on a plate with rice and beans, farofa on the side, and vinaigrette salad. Squeeze lime juice over everything.
