Brazilian cowboys, or "Gauchos", are well known for their insatiable appetite for beef. And really, can you blame them when their steaks are typically bathed with a tangy marinade/sauce of garlic, red pepper flakes, red wine vinegar, and olive oil? Of course not.

Prepare the Ingredients
Mince garlic. Cut tomato into 1/4" dice. Peel and halve onion. Cut halves into 1/4” dice. Trim zucchini ends and cut on an angle into 1/4" slices. Rinse steaks, pat dry, and season both sides with a large pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Prepare the Rice
Place a small pot over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir, cover, and cook 3 minutes, or until onions are tender and translucent. Stir in rice, half the tomatoes, vegetable base packet, and 3/4 cup water. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-18 minutes. Rice should have some liquid left, making the texture creamy. Stir in remaining tomatoes, cover, set aside, and keep warm.
-
Marinate Zucchini
While rice is cooking, combine garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes (start with 1/4 tsp., taste, and add more if desired), red wine vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium mixing bowl. Pour half the marinade into a small bowl for steaks in later step. Add zucchini to remaining marinade and toss to coat completely.
-
Sear and Cook the Steaks
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and steaks. Sear steaks, about 2-3 minutes per side, or until brown. Remove steaks from pan and place on baking sheet. Pour reserved marinade over steaks and bake 5-7 minutes, or until steaks reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove from oven and allow steaks to rest for 3 minutes.
-
Cook the Zucchini
Place pan from previous step over medium-high heat (no need to wipe clean). Add zucchini with marinade to hot pan. Stir regularly and cook until zucchini is tender but still has a slight crunch, about 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Plate the Dish
Place a mound of tomato rice on each plate. Place zucchini next to rice and place steak in front.
