– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

Instructions

Creating Cilantro Lime Steak Bowls is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak, coating it well. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).

2. Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Cook the steak for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

3. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.

4. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t done so, cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.

5. Assemble the Bowls: Start by placing a scoop of cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with black beans, corn, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

6. Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the rested flank steak against the grain. Arrange the slices on top of the rice and veggies.

7. Garnish: Sprinkle additional chopped cilantro over the bowls and serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.

8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Cilantro Lime Steak Bowls fresh and warm!
