Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup white or brown rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1⁄2 cup diced red onion
  • 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1⁄2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture over the flank steak, ensuring an even coat. Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side or until reaching desired doneness. Remove from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.

4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently to combine.

5. Divide the rice mixture into serving bowls. Top each with sliced steak, avocado slices, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings like sour cream and salsa, if desired.

6. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful steak burrito bowl!

Notes

For added flavor, you can marinate the steak overnight in the refrigerator.

If you prefer, you can substitute quinoa for rice for a different texture.

This dish can also be personalized by adding other favorite toppings like jalapenos or sautéed peppers.

The steak can be cooked to your preferred level of doneness; medium-rare generally works well for flank steak.
