After coming back from Spring Break – I was motivated to cook something from my own hometown. I grew up eating things just like the recipe I’m about to show y’all, among some other really flavorful foods! Hands down my favorite cuisine EVER!
If you’ve never been, Miami is literally a mecca for all things flavor. *Cue Guy Fieri “Welcome to Flavor Town!”* LOL. But really, some of the best food I’ve ever eaten has been from the iconic 305. In addition to being from Miami, I’m also 100% Cuban. I was raised on mountains of rice and beans, steak, and plantains. SO there’s a little background on me.
Moving to Gainesville was a little bit of an adjustment, considering the fact that there’s only one good place in town, Mi Apa, I knew I had to cook up some of my favorite’s from back home. I want to share with y’all a recipe for my “Arroz con Todo,” translating to rice with everything and churrasco, AKA skirt steak with Chimichurri sauce.
Check out my recipe below!
Arroz con todo:
– One bag of white rice (uncooked)
– One packet of Sazon con achote
– One can of cooked sweet corn
– 10 slices of cooked bacon (chopped)
Skirt Steak:
– Olive Oil
– Salt & Pepper
– Garlic Powder
Instructions:
In a pot cook 2 cups of rice with two cups of water. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp each of salt and garlic powder. Cook rice through and add can of corn (drained) and bacon pieces.
For steak, heat olive oil in pan. Season generously and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side.
Here’s a quick, tasty meal that will transport you from your kitchen to the island of Cuba!
Enjoy!
