- Boil 2 cups of water on the stovetop, add rice, cover the pot, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for about 15 minutes until the rice is puffy, then set aside.
- Next, pour the olive oil into a large skillet on medium-high heat. When it begins to sizzle, add the steak and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until it is cooked to your preference (we like well done for this recipe).
- Once steak is finished, remove from the pan and let cool on a cutting board.
