Description

A vibrant dish where juicy steak meets zesty lime and fresh cilantro over rice, topped with creamy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or flank)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 cup rice (white or brown)
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup creamy cilantro lime sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: Combine lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add steak, coat well, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the rice: Prepare rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and mix in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
  3. Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated steak for 4–5 minutes on each side for desired doneness. Let rest.
  4. Warm the black beans and corn in a pot for a few minutes, seasoning with a pinch of salt.
  5. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Layer rice, black beans, corn, sliced avocado, and sliced steak in a serving bowl. Drizzle with creamy cilantro lime sauce.

Notes

Marinate the steak a day in advance for deeper flavor. Customize with favorite toppings.
