Ingredients

For the Steak Marinade

  • 1 pound Flank Steak can substitute with skirt or sirloin steak
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or avocado oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced or garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Lime Juice preferably fresh
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Zest optional
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro or parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper to taste

For the Bowl Assembly

  • 1 cup Uncooked Rice long grain or brown rice
  • 1 cup Beef Broth or vegetable/chicken broth
  • 1 can Black Beans rinsed
  • 1 cup Corn Kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1/2 small Red Onion chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño optional for heat
  • 2 wedges Lime for serving

Instructions

Steak Marinade Preparation

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, lime zest, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  • Place flank steak in a dish or resealable bag, pour marinade over it, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  • Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  • While the steak is grilling, prepare rice in a saucepan with beef broth according to package instructions.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cooked rice, drained black beans, and corn kernels until well combined.
  • Divide the rice and bean mixture among serving bowls. Top each with slices of grilled steak, creamy avocado, red onion, and jalapeño if desired.
  • Just before serving, squeeze fresh lime wedges over the bowls.

Notes

Garnish with additional chopped cilantro for an extra fresh touch.
