Description
A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring grilled flank steak marinated in cilantro and lime, served with rice, avocado, black beans, and a tangy lime crema.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs flank steak
- 1/2 cup avocado or olive oil
- Zest of 1 lime
- Juice of 2 limes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups cooked rice (or riced cauliflower)
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, heated
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, heated
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Tajin seasoning
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over the meat. Seal and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.
- Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill it for about 10 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium, the internal temperature should be around 145°F. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- Make the Lime Crema: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, Tajin seasoning, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and set aside.
- Assemble the Bowls: Prepare your rice according to the package instructions. For each bowl, add a serving of rice, then top with sliced steak, avocado, black beans, corn, shredded cheese, and diced red onion. Drizzle with the lime crema.
Notes
Use fresh limes and cilantro for the best flavor. Marinate the steak ahead of time for enhanced taste.
