Ingredients

For the Steak Marinade:

1 lb flank or skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 2 limes
2 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cumin
Salt to taste
black pepper to taste

For the Bowl Base:

2 cups cooked rice white, brown, or cilantro-lime rice
1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or grilled
1 small red onion finely diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 avocado sliced

For the Creamy Lime Dressing (Optional):

2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt

Instructions

Marinate the Steak:

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the steak, coating it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.

Cook the Steak:

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

Prepare the Base:

While the steak rests, prepare your bowl base. Divide the cooked rice between serving bowls. Top each with black beans, corn, tomatoes, and red onion.

Assemble the Bowl:

Add sliced steak on top of each bowl. Garnish with avocado slices and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Make the Dressing (Optional):

In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Drizzle over the assembled bowls.

Serve & Enjoy:

Serve immediately while warm, or store ingredients separately for meal prep.
