Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 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
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Extra cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate the steak for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 to 4 hours for best flavor infusion.
- Cook the rice according to package instructions.
- In a small saucepan, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the corn as needed until warmed or tender.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, ensuring it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Assemble bowls with rice, black beans, corn, steak, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and feta (if using).
- Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
