Description
Flavorful and satisfying cilantro lime steak bowls featuring marinated flank steak, rice, beans, and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 pounds flank steak
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup minced cilantro
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup corn
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 red onion (sliced)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 batch cilantro lime crema (click for recipe)
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients for the steak marinade. This includes the olive oil, juice and zest of a lime, garlic, cilantro, salt, and pepper.
- Add the steak to a shallow dish and pour the marinade on top. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a cast iron pan to medium high and place steak on. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or steak reaches desired internal temperature. I usually do around 145 degrees which is medium-medium/well.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice into strips or cubes.
- Assemble your bowls with the rice, black beans, corn, avocado, steak, then top with the cilantro lime crema.
- You can also add in some chopped lettuce, sauteed bell peppers, and onions. etc! Enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the steak for longer if time permits.
- Feel free to customize your bowls with additional toppings like cheese or hot sauce.
