Instructions
Creating Cilantro Lime Steak Bowls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Steak: Place flank steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Cook Steak: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, discarding the leftover liquid. Grill or sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness.
4. Rest Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps it tender.
5. Slice Steak: Thinly slice the steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
6. Assemble Bowls: Start by spooning cooked rice into each bowl. Then, layer with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado, and sliced steak.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, and add a lime wedge for that extra burst of flavor.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy these flavorful bowls while everything is fresh!
