Caribbean Steak

By kristabelle

Ingredients

• 3 T. olive oil
• 3 t. jerk seasoning (purchased, or make it as follows)
• 1 t. salt plus more to taste
• 1 lb. thin steak (flank or carne asada cut)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 can black beans
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 ripe mango
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 T. lime juice
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• pepper
• 1 T. rum
• 4 large flour tortillas

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the broiler.
Combine 1 T. of the oil with 2 t. of the jerk seasoning and 1 t. salt in a small bowl. Rub this mixture into both sides of the meat and place the meat on a baking sheet. Broil until medium rare, about 5 minutes per side for flank steak (less for carne asada cut). Let it rest until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 T. oil in skillet. Add the garlic and remaining teaspoon of jerk seasoning and saute for a few minutes. Add the beans and and water and simmer gently for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, dice the avocado and mango and place in serving bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and add chopped cilantro. Toss with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the rum to the beans, and increase the heat to cook off the alcohol for a couple minutes. Season the beans with salt and pepper.
Slice the steak into thin strips. Serve fajita style with each component laid out, or roll everything into a burrito for your lucky guests. I also added a dollop of sour cream because I thought it was lacking in sauciness.
