Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs flank or sirloin steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 4 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn salsa
  • 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 avocado sliced or diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet or Grill Pan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Cutting Board

Instructions
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
  2. Place the steak in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  5. To assemble, divide the rice among four bowls. Top with sliced steak, corn salsa, black beans, avocado, and cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: Don't skip the resting step! It's crucial for a juicy, tender steak.
Tip 2: Slice the steak against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
Tip 3: Store components separately in the fridge for up to 4 days for easy meal prep.
