Description

A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring juicy flank steak, creamy avocado, sweet roasted corn, and a zesty cilantro cream sauce, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

  • Flank steak: 1 lb (450 g)
  • Ripe avocado: 1 large, sliced
  • Corn kernels: 1 cup (fresh or frozen)
  • Quinoa: 1 cup (uncooked)
  • Fresh cilantro: 1/2 cup, chopped
  • Lime: 1, juiced
  • Sour cream: 1/2 cup
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Salt: to taste
  • Pepper: to taste
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Take the flank steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  3. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the corn for 5-7 minutes until golden and slightly charred.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lime juice to make the cilantro cream sauce.
  6. Assemble the bowl starting with quinoa, then add sliced steak, roasted corn, and avocado. Drizzle with cilantro cream sauce and garnish with extra cilantro.

Notes

  • Let the steak rest after cooking for juicier meat.
  • Feel free to customize the bowl with different proteins or grains.
  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor, but frozen works well too.
