Ingredients

2 pound flank steak (trimmed, sliced thin)
4 bunch broccolini (trimmed)
4 cup riced cauliflower
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
0.25 cup lime juice
4 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 avocado (diced)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange trimmed broccolini on a baking sheet, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and roast for 18 minutes until tender and lightly charred.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add sliced flank steak in a single layer and sear for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply browned on the outside.
Add minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Pour in lime juice and rinsed black beans. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and braise gently for 8 minutes until steak is tender and flavorful.
In a microwave-safe bowl or separate nonstick pan, warm riced cauliflower for 3 minutes, then fold in ground flaxseed and half of the chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the citrus-braised flank steak and black beans over the cauliflower rice alongside roasted broccolini. Top with diced avocado and remaining fresh cilantro.

Notes

Thinly slicing the flank steak against the grain ensures tender bites that reheat smoothly without drying out.
