Prep

Step 1. Mix Orange, half the Lime, Garlic, Cumin, Olive Oil, and half the Salt in a shallow dish. Turn Flank Steak in the mixture and refrigerate while you start the rice.
Step 2. Bring White Rice, Water, and the rest of the Salt to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce to low, and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
Step 3. Meanwhile, mix Tomato, Onion, Jalapeño, Cilantro, and the rest of the Lime in a bowl for the pico de gallo.

Cook

Step 4. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off; discard the marinade. Grill until browned and the center reaches your preferred doneness, about 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, heat Black Beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until hot, about 4 minutes; remove from the heat.
Step 6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Fluff the rice and divide it among plates with the steak, beans, and pico de gallo.
