Here are the fresh ingredients you’ll need to prepare a delicious Steak Burrito Bowl.

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the 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 the rice is tender and the 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 your desired doneness. Remove from the 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!

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: Swap flank steak for chicken or tofu for a different protein. Quinoa can be used instead of rice for a nuttier flavor.
