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 over the flank steak and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat over medium-high and add a splash of olive oil.
- Cook the marinated flank steak on the grill or skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
- Remove steak from heat and rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- 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 with olive oil for 5-7 minutes. For canned corn, simply drain and rinse.
- While corn cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice the avocados, drizzling them with lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
- In individual serving bowls, place a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Layer sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado on top of the base.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowl and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and vegetables are crisp.
Notes
For extra flavor, let the steak marinate longer in the refrigerator.
Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
