Cilantro Lime Steak Bowls

 


2 lbs. flank steak

½ cup avocado or olive oil

Zest of 1 lime

Juice of 2 limes

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced or finely chopped

½ cup chopped cilantro

2 tsp. kosher salt

½ tsp. black pepper

4 cups cooked rice

2 avocados, sliced

1 can (15 oz) black beans, heated

1 can (15 oz) corn, heated

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ red onion, diced

For the lime crema:

1 cup sour cream

2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning

Juice of 1 lime

 

 Place flank steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Add oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk to combine then pour over steak. Make sure both sides of the steak are coated. Cover (or seal) and place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Heat grill to medium-high then place steak on. Grill for 10 minutes then flip. Grill for 10 minutes more or until steak reaches desired internal temperature. Place steak on a plate or cutting board then allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice into thin strips against the grain or into cubes.

Add rice, steak, avocado, black beans, corn, cheese, and onion to individual bowls. Drizzle with lime crema.

NOTES

To add even more flavor use cilantro lime rice.
