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. Coat the flank steak with this mixture and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, grill or cook the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, aiming for medium-rare (130°F) or until your desired doneness (145°F is medium).
- Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes to retain the juices.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips.
- If using fresh corn, grill it alongside the steak for about 10 minutes, turning until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse canned corn before using.
- While the corn is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice or cube the avocados. Drizzle lime juice over the avocados to keep them from browning.
- In serving bowls, start with a layer of cooked quinoa or brown rice as a base.
- Top with sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and vegetables remain crisp.
Notes
For an extra kick, add your favorite hot sauce or salsa on top before serving.
Make sure to let the steak rest after cooking; this helps keep it juicy.
Customize your bowl by adding other favorite veggies like bell peppers or black beans.
