Tender, marinated flank steak served over rice with black beans, corn, fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, and a zesty cilantro-lime kick—perfect for a wholesome, flavor-packed dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb flank steak

¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup red onion, diced

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Extra cilantro for garnish

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or resealable bag, mix lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours) in the fridge.
  2. Heat grill or skillet over medium-high. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Rest 5 minutes.
  3. While steak rests, arrange rice in serving bowls. Add beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and red onion.
  4. Slice steak thinly against the grain and divide among bowls.
  5. Top with feta (if using), extra cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.

Notes

Skirt steak, sirloin, or ribeye can be substituted.

No grill? Use a cast-iron skillet or grill pan.

Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for heat.

Swap rice for quinoa, cauliflower rice, or greens for a lighter base.

Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
