Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 small red onion diced
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
- hot sauce or salsa optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture onto the flank steak and let it marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high and add a splash of olive oil.
- Cook the marinated flank steak on the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring it stays juicy.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips after resting.
- If using fresh corn, grill it alongside the steak for about 10 minutes turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a skillet with olive oil for about 5-7 minutes. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse it.
- While the corn is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice or cube the avocados. Drizzle lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
- In individual serving bowls, start with a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice, then layer on the sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and vegetables are crisp.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the steak to marinate longer if possible.
Customize your bowl with additional toppings like cheese or beans.
Make sure to serve the bowl while the steak is still warm for the best taste.
