Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs flank steak, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large bell pepper (any color), sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flank steak with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the steak in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and slightly charred.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among serving bowls.
- Top the rice with the cooked steak, sautéed bell peppers and onions, black beans, and corn.
- Spoon salsa over the top and add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For a spicier bowl, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the steak marinade.
- You can substitute chicken breast or shrimp for the steak.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the Greek yogurt/sour cream or use a dairy-free alternative.
