Ingredients

  • Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin (lean cut)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Chili powder or smoked paprika
  • Brown rice or quinoa (or white rice, farro, or couscous)
  • Fresh corn kernels (or frozen corn, or canned corn)
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh lime
  • Cilantro
  • Red onion
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Avocado
  • Lime juice
  • Chili powder or cumin
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing your chosen grain, whether it's brown rice or quinoa, according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  2. Pat your chosen steak cut (flank, skirt, or sirloin) completely dry with paper towels. Season generously all over with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering. Add the steak and sear for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  5. In the same skillet, add another small drizzle of olive oil. Add your fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels. Sauté over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
  6. While the corn cooks, dice your avocado, halve your cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder (or cumin), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  8. To assemble, create a base layer with the cooked grain in each bowl. Arrange the sliced steak, sautéed corn, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped red onion artfully over the grain.
  9. Drizzle generously with your freshly prepared lime-cilantro dressing. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro and a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Steak Avocado Corn Bowl!
