  • 1 pound flank steak Choose high-quality meat for the best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) Fresh juice brightens up the dish.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil Helps tenderize the meat while adding richness.
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro Adds aromatic freshness.
  • 3 cloves garlic Minced, infuses the marinade with depth.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin Provides warm, earthy notes.
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder Adds a subtle kick.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Brings balance to the seasoning.
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown, acts as a base).
  • 1 can black beans Rinsed and drained, offers protein and fiber.
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned).
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved, adds freshness.
  • 1 whole avocado Sliced, adds creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup red onion Diced, adds crunch.
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese (optional, crumbled).
  • extra cilantro For garnish.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine fresh lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined to create a marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well coated, then seal the bag or cover the dish.
  3. While your steak marinates, cook rice according to package instructions. In a small saucepan, warm black beans until heated through, about five minutes.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill each side of the flank steak about 4-5 minutes or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  5. Once cooled slightly, slice your steak against the grain into thin strips and assemble in bowls with cooked rice, black beans, corn, sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and optional feta cheese.
