Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bowl:
- 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
- 2 ears of corn (husks removed)
- 1 ripe avocado (sliced)
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Juice of 1 lime
Cilantro Cream Sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Prepare Steak: Rub the steak with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Grill Corn: While the steak cooks, grill the corn, turning occasionally until slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then slice off the kernels.
- Make Cilantro Cream Sauce: Blend Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- Assemble Bowls: Create a base of rice or quinoa in each bowl, then top with grilled steak slices, avocado, roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with cilantro cream sauce and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
- To make this dish dairy-free, use a plant-based yogurt for the cilantro sauce.
- Add black beans or shredded lettuce for extra texture and fiber.
