Description
This Healthy Steak Avocado Corn Bowl combines juicy flank steak, creamy avocados, and vibrant vegetables, making it a perfect quick meal that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
- 1 small red onion diced
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
- hot sauce or salsa optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, or heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
- Place the marinated flank steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
- Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the resting steak against the grain into thin strips.
- If using fresh corn, grill it alongside the steak for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally until charred. For frozen corn, sauté in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse canned corn before use.
- While the corn is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and slice or cube the avocados, drizzling them with lime juice immediately to prevent browning.
- In individual serving bowls, create a base of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Layer the sliced steak, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and avocado on top of the base ingredients.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro. Add hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve immediately while the steak is warm and vegetables are crisp.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the steak to marinate longer in the refrigerator.
This bowl can be easily customized with your favorite vegetables or grains.
Try different toppings like feta cheese or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness.
