Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds flank steak or skirt steak
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups jasmine rice cooked
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- Salt to taste
- Diced avocado
- Chopped tomatoes
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons lime juice or Greek yogurt
- Pinch of salt
- Splash of water to thin only if needed
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Sear the marinated steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to your preferred doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Fluff the rice with olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Prepare the yogurt drizzle in a small bowl and mix all ingredients well before setting aside.
- Assemble the bowls with rice as the base, add sliced steak on top, and finish with your favorite toppings. Drizzle with lime juice and the creamy sauce.
Notes
Marinating the steak longer enhances the flavor, but even 30 minutes will give a good taste.
Feel free to customize toppings based on preference or what you have at home, such as cheese or different herbs.
If you prefer a healthier option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
