Instructions
-
Prepare the Steak:
-
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to marinate.
-
-
Cook the Steak:
-
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer it more well-done. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
-
-
Assemble the Bowls:
-
While the steak rests, prepare the rest of the ingredients. In each bowl, add a base of cooked rice, followed by black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, and avocado.
-
-
Add the Steak:
-
Once the steak is rested and sliced, add the slices on top of the rice and veggie base in each bowl.
-
-
Garnish and Serve:
-
Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and any optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, or jalapeño slices. Serve immediately.
