A flavorful dish featuring marinated steak and fluffy rice, perfect for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Flank or Skirt Steak
- 1 cup Rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 2 Fresh Limes, juiced and zested
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Toppings: Avocado, pico de gallo, black beans, corn, cheese, or sour cream
Instructions
- Create the Marinade: In a medium bowl, mix together the lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk until combined.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, seal, and let it soak in for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions, adding a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice for flavor.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place it onto the hot grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the Steak: After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- Build Your Bowl: Start with a scoop of rice, layer on the sliced steak, and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
Letting the steak marinate for longer boosts the flavor. Feel free to customize your toppings.
