Ingredients

  • 1 beef Top Round Steak, cut 1 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2 pounds medium unpeeled potatoes (about 2 1/2 inch diameter) such as yello flesh or round reds
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 3/4 cup prepared white wine vinaigrette
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed, drianed
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Cut potatoes crosswise in half; place in microwave-safe dish with 1 cup water. Cover and microwave on HIGH 10 to 14 minutes or until almost tender, rearranging once. Immediately rinse under cold running water; drain well.

Meanwhile, combine cumin and salt and pepper; press evenly onto beef steak. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 12 to 14 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 16 to 19 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Do not overcook.

About 5 minutes before steak is done, brush potatoes with some of the vinaigrette. Place on grid around steak. Grill 5 to 7 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

Carve steak into thin slices. Combine beef, potatoes, beans, cilantro and remaining vinaigrette in large bowl; toss gently. Serve immediately.
