  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients and Start Steak

    Cut plantains into 1/2" dice.

    Separate steak strips into a single layer and pat dry.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add steak strips to hot pan. Stir occasionally until no pink remains, 4-6 minutes.

    Add plantains and stir occasionally until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Finish the Steak

    Add demi-glace and 1/4 cup water to pan. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

    Add half the hot sauce, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper and stir to combine. Taste, and add additional hot sauce if desired.

    Remove from burner.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice

    For best results, pierce jasmine rice bag a few times with a knife, then break up rice inside the bag. Mix rice with 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm, 2 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

    Stir in seasoning blend until combined.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping rice with steak strips and plantains and garnishing with queso fresco (breaking apart with your hands if needed). Bon appétit!
