Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) lean steak (such as sirloin or flank)

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice

  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

  • 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. Season the steak with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the pan.

  3. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.

  4. Remove from heat and let the steak rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.

  5. While the steak rests, prepare the rice, corn, and other ingredients.

  6. In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

  7. Assemble the bowl starting with a base of rice or cauliflower rice. Layer with shredded lettuce, steak, black beans, corn, and the tomato-onion mix.

  8. Top with diced avocado and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and squeeze a lime wedge over the top.

Notes

  • Add extra crunch by sprinkling chopped walnuts or almonds over the top before baking.

  • If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat as needed.

  • Substitute the steak with grilled chicken or tofu for a different flavor.
