Add black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, Mexican oregano,, cumin olive oil. Beer lime and orange juice with sauce Mix well.

Prepare your rice. Mahatma Rice 90 seconds in the microwave chipotle flavor is my favorite to help me comply with my diet. Hand Mix the steak and rice with chimichurri.
