Serves 2
with Tomatoes, Rice, Beans & Plantains
“Tender” takes on a whole new meaning in this savory homestyle meal, packed with stew-y beef that’s slow-simmered with tomato, bell peppers, onion, and garlic until it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Fluffy rice, hearty black beans, and sweet caramelized plantains balance out the savory spices.
FOR THE OVEN Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove outer packaging and plastic film. Cover rice on tray* with aluminum foil, leaving stew uncovered. Place on a baking sheet and bake on middle rack for 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and stir stew (leave the rice, beans, and plantains undisturbed). Return sheet to oven and bake, uncovered, until meal reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 20 minutes more. Let stand for 2 minutes and stir. Divide rice, beans, and plantains between plates and serve beef alongside.
*You read that right: All trays and film are oven-safe and microwave-safe!
This meal is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.
FOR THE MICROWAVE Remove outer packaging and pierce plastic film a few times with a fork. Place tray* on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 4 minutes. Carefully remove plastic film and stir stew (leave the rice, beans, and plantains undisturbed). Microwave until meal reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 4 minutes more. Let stand for 2 minutes. Divide rice, beans, and plantains between plates and serve beef alongside.
