Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- hot sauce or salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub this mixture over the flank steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium-high heat with some olive oil.
- Cook the marinated flank steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F) or until it reaches desired doneness (145°F for medium).
- Once cooked, remove the steak and let it rest for about 10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- For fresh corn, grill for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse canned corn.
- While the corn cooks, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice/cube the avocados. Drizzle lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning.
- In serving bowls, place a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Layer the sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado on top.
- Squeeze lime juice over everything and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and the vegetables are crisp.
Notes
Marinating the steak for longer enhances the flavor.
Adjust cooking time based on desired steak doneness.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
