Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add flank steak and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook rice according to package directions. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat black beans for about 5 minutes and season as desired. If using fresh corn, boil or sauté briefly; heat frozen corn as needed.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Remove steak from marinade allowing excess to drip off; discard marinade. Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Divide cooked rice into bowls. Add layers of black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and red onion. Top with sliced steak. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
