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 this mixture on the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
- Place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill or skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (130°F) or until it reaches your preferred doneness (145°F is medium).
- Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Once rested, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- If using fresh corn, grill alongside the steak for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a skillet for 5-7 minutes. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse it.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice or cube the avocados, drizzling them with lime juice to prevent browning.
- In individual bowls, start with a base of quinoa or brown rice, then layer sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and avocado on top.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and the vegetables are crisp.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate longer if time allows.
Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences such as adding cheese or different vegetables.
Use leftover steak to make a quick wrap or salad the next day.
