Description
A vibrant and fresh meal featuring marinated steak, rice or quinoa, black beans, corn, avocado, and fresh cilantro, perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (flank or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by marinating the steak. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Add the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once the steak has marinated, heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cooking the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side will get you the perfect level of doneness.
- After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes. This step allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavorful.
- Assemble your bowls! Begin with a base of cooked rice or quinoa, followed by layers of black beans, corn, diced red onion, and sliced avocado.
- Finally, top everything off with your beautifully sliced steak. If desired, sprinkle additional cilantro on top and add a lime wedge for a burst of brightness.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy this healthy and satisfying meal!
Notes
Marinate longer for deeper flavor; serve with salsa or yogurt sauce for extra zest.
