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 on the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
- Place the marinated flank steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips after resting.
- Grill fresh corn alongside the steak for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred, or sauté frozen corn in a skillet for 5-7 minutes, or drain and rinse canned corn.
- While corn cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice or cube the avocados, drizzling with lime juice to prevent browning.
- In serving bowls, start with cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base.
- Layer sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado on top of the base.
- Squeeze lime juice over the bowl and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and vegetables are crisp.
Notes
Marinating the steak longer enhances flavor.
Use your preferred corn method for a personalized touch.
For added texture, consider additional toppings like feta cheese or black beans.
