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
- Combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rub the mixture all over the flank steak. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high and add olive oil.
- Place the marinated flank steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for 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 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Grill fresh corn for 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred, or sauté frozen corn in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse canned corn before using.
- 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 a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Layer sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado on top.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the bowls and sprinkle with cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while warm.
