Wash and dry produce. Dice @tomato{1%medium} into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and mince @garlic{2%cloves}. Drain @black beans{1½%cup}.

In a #medium pot{}, combine @white rice{1%cup}, tomato, garlic, beans, @chicken stock concentrate{1%unit}, @water{¾%cup}, 1 tsp @fajita spice blend{2%tsp}, and a pinch of @salt{to%taste}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender ~{20%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

While rice cooks, roughly chop @cilantro{¼%cup}. Quarter @lime{1%unit}. In a #small bowl{}, combine @sour cream{3%tbsp}, cilantro, and juice from one lime wedge. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Taste and season with salt and @pepper{to%taste} if desired.

Pat @bavette steak{12%oz} dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp fajita spice blend, salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook until browned and cooked through ~{4%minutes} per side. If steak starts to brown too quickly, lower the heat and cover pan. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

Fluff rice and beans with a fork and stir in @butter{1%tbsp}.

Slice steak crosswise. Divide rice and beans and steak between plates in separate sections. Pour any resting juices over steak and drizzle with crema. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
