Description
A simple recipe for steak bowls seasoned with cilantro and lime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb flank steak
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steak. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. Reserve the remaining marinade.
- Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
- Cook the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
- Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
- While the steak rests, briefly warm the corn and black beans if desired.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top with corn, black beans, sliced steak, and avocado slices.
- Drizzle the reserved marinade over the assembled bowls before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin.
- For extra flavor, grill the corn before adding it to the bowls.
