Delicious! I just threw this together last minute and it reminded me of a Cuban dish I had in Navarre, Florida while visiting a friend!

Spanish rice is prepared by browning the rice first with onions and garlic, before cooking it in chicken stock with added tomato. The browning is essential to the nutty, almost toasty flavor of the rice. And although bouillon can be substituted for the chicken stock, nothing beats homemade chicken stock, the rich flavor of which is absorbed by the rice.

Spanish white rice is a bit different from the white rice found in Asian dishes... mainly, it is not as sticky. This rice accompanies many Latin American dishes and it is one of the main staple foods (add beans) of the region.

This is a mildly seasoned dish, so you fire and spice lovers will probably want to increase the amounts of jalapeno peppers and chipotle powder. It makes a great burrito filling or side dish and doesn’t take much longer than heating up a can of beans.

Summertime, or anytime, you can grill the flank steak instead of broling it. Cook the meat directly over medium coal for 18 to 22 minutes total for medium doneless, turning once. Flank steak is a lean cut of beef, so avoid overcooking it or it may become dry and tough.
