For the brown rice

2 cups water

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.
