Ingredients
  

Steak and Marinade
  • 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil for marinade
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Method
 

Marinate the Steak

Cook the Rice
  1. In a rice cooker, combine rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions until fluffy.
