Ingredients
- 1 lb flank steak (or skirt steak)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp black pepper
For the Bowl:
- 1 cup cooked brown or white rice
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup corn (grilled or canned)
- ¼ cup crumbled feta or queso fresco
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Marinate the Steak: In a bowl or zip-top bag, mix marinade ingredients. Add steak and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Steak: Grill or sear the steak in a hot skillet for 4–5 minutes per side. Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the Bowl: Add rice to your bowl. Top with sliced steak, avocado, cherry tomatoes, beans, corn, and cheese.
- Garnish & Serve: Add cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Optional: drizzle with chipotle mayo or avocado crema.
Notes
- Rest Your Steak: Always rest the steak before slicing—it locks in juices for a more flavorful bite.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your veggies, the better your steak bowl will taste.
- Batch Cook: Grill extra steak and keep chopped veggies in the fridge for quick weekday meals.
- Mix Textures: Crunchy, creamy, and tender ingredients make each bite exciting.
