# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 1 1/2 lbs flank steak. Rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season generously with 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This prepares the steak for your delicious Steak Avocado Corn Bowl: Quick Meal Prep Recipe.
02 -
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the seasoned flank steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. A meat thermometer should read 130-135°F for medium-rare.
03 -
Transfer the cooked steak to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender Steak Avocado Corn Bowl: Quick Meal Prep Recipe. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
04 -
While the steak rests, combine 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen corn, 1 large diced red bell pepper, and 1/2 small finely diced red onion in a large bowl. Dice 2 large ripe avocados and gently fold them into the mixture just before assembling.
05 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp honey, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika until well combined and emulsified. This zesty dressing is key to the vibrant flavors of your Steak Avocado Corn Bowl: Quick Meal Prep Recipe.
06 -
Divide 3 cups cooked brown rice evenly among 4 meal prep containers or serving bowls. Top each portion with the prepared corn, bell pepper, onion, avocado mixture, and generous slices of the rested flank steak.
07 -
Drizzle each assembled bowl generously with the Zesty Lime Drizzle. Garnish with 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro and 1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or feta). Serve immediately or prepare for meal prep.
# Notes:
01 -
For meal prep, store the dressing separately and add just before eating to prevent sogginess. To keep avocado from browning, toss it with a little extra lime juice before adding to the bowls, or add it fresh on the day of serving.
02 -
Feel free to substitute brown rice with quinoa or farro for a different texture. Black beans or chickpeas can also be added for extra plant-based protein and fiber.
03 -
Adjust the cooking time for the flank steak to achieve your preferred doneness; a meat thermometer is highly recommended for accuracy.
04 -
This recipe is fantastic served warm or at room temperature, making it perfect for packed lunches or quick dinners.
