Description
Delightful steak bowls with zesty lime, fresh cilantro, and vibrant veggies, ideal for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Extra cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a mixing bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the flank steak evenly and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare rice and beans: Cook rice per package instructions. Warm black beans in a saucepan for about 5 minutes. If using fresh corn, boil or sauté briefly until tender.
- Cook the steak: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Notes
For a different twist, try chicken thighs instead of flank steak or use quinoa instead of rice.
