Grilled Beef and Tomato Rice Stack

 Grilled Beef and Tomato Rice Stack



Ingredients:


1 lb flank steak or your choice of grilled beef (sliced thinly against the grain)

2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Preparation:


Grill the beef:

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the flank steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. Let the beef rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.


Prepare the tomatoes and onions:

In a small bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and thinly sliced onions with olive oil, balsamic vinegar (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for a few minutes.


Assemble the rice stack:

In serving glasses, small bowls, or plates, layer the ingredients in the following order:


Start with a layer of cooked rice.

Add a layer of sliced grilled beef.

Top with a spoonful of marinated tomatoes and onions.

Repeat layers until the container is filled.

Optional cheese topping:

If using cheese, sprinkle shredded mozzarella or cheddar on top of the rice stack and lightly broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.


Serve:

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm, either as a main dish or as part of a larger meal.


Enjoy!
