Marinating the Steak

  • Place flank steak in a shallow dish or zip top bag. In a small bowl, add oil, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine then pour over steak. Make sure both sides of steak are coated. Cover (or seal) and place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Grilling the Steak

  • Heat grill to medium-high then place steak on. Grill for 10 minutes then flip. Grill for 10 minutes more or until steak reaches desired internal temperature. Place steak on a plate or cutting board then allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice into thin strips against the grain or into cubes.

Assembling the Bowls

  • To individual bowls, add rice, steak, avocado, black beans, corn, cheese and onion. Drizzle with lime crema.

Notes

To add even more flavor use cilantro lime rice. More topping ideas: black olives, bell pepper, grilled onions, jalapeños.
