Cuban Steak and Beans


  • 1 orange
  • 4 limes
  • 4 clove(s) garlic, crushed with press
  • 1 tablespoon(s) ground cumin
  • 1 (12-ounce, 1/2 inch thick) beef top sirloin steak
  • 1 large (8- to 10-ounce) red pepper
  • 1 can(s) (15-ounce) no-salt-added black beans 
  • 2 cup(s) corn kernels, fresh or frozen (thawed)




  • Directions
    1. Into small bowl, finely grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from orange; finely grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 limes. Stir in garlic, cumin, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper.
    2. Place steak in resealable bag. Add half of citrus mixture. Seal bag; turn to coat. Let stand. Chop pepper, drain and rinse beans, and cut remaining limes in half.
    3. Heat 12-inch heavy skillet on high. Coat steak lightly with nonstick cooking spray; add to pan. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (145 degrees F) or until desired doneness. Transfer to cutting board.
    4. To skillet, add red pepper and corn. Cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring. Add beans, remaining citrus mixture, 1/4 cup water, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until mostly dry, stirring. Slice steak. Serve with bean mixture and limes.


    I got this recipe from Good Housekeeping magazine.  I would not recommend it.  The bean/corn side was good but I did not think steak had much flavor.
