Massaged Kale

Instructions

For the steak

  • Begin by drawing out the moisture in your flank steak. Place 2 pieces of paper towel on a large plate and set the flank steak on top. Then place two more pieces on top and use your hands to press so that the moisture draws out.
  • Season flank steak with salt and pepper to taste and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Next, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium/high heat. Add olive oil.
  • When olive oil is fragrant, place flank steak onto the cast iron pan and let sear for 4 minutes. Flip and sear for an additional 2 minutes on the other side (for medium-rare steak). Let stand for 10-15 minutes.
  • Slice flank steak into thin strips and set aside.

For the Peppers and Onions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place peppers and onions on baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes and toss halfway through.
  • Remove from oven and set aside.

For the Brown Rice

  • Place 1 cup brown rice and 2 cups of water into a small pot. Turn heat to high and bring to a rolling boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-40 minutes or until all water has absorbed.
  • Set aside.

For the Massaged Kale

  • Place kale into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Massage oil, salt, and pepper into the kale with your hands for 3-4 minutes.
