Description

A fresh, flavorful, and filling bowl featuring juicy grilled steak, creamy avocado, sweet roasted corn, and a zesty cilantro cream sauce. Perfect for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak (or any cut of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (for the sauce)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for the sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 cup water (for sauce)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat.
  2. Season the flank steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  4. While the steak is grilling, heat the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is lightly charred and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and water to create the cilantro cream sauce.
  6. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
  7. To assemble the bowls, divide the sliced steak, roasted corn, and diced avocado into bowls. Drizzle with the cilantro cream sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

  • Customize with different proteins like chicken or shrimp.
  • Add extra veggies like bell peppers or tomatoes for more color and crunch.
