Description
A vibrant bowl filled with juicy steak, roasted corn, fresh avocado, and a zesty cilantro cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin)
- 2 ears corn, husked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the steak. I like to take it out of the fridge a bit early so it cooks evenly. Rub it with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. As it sits, the spices begin to soak in, creating that rich, savory base.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. Once done, it keeps the juices inside, making every bite tender and flavorful.
- While the steak rests, roast the corn. You can place it directly on the grill or in a hot pan, turning occasionally until it develops those golden, slightly charred spots. The smell alone will remind you of summer cookouts. Once cooled slightly, slice the kernels off the cob.
- Now prepare the cilantro cream sauce. Blend or mix the sour cream, fresh cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and salt until smooth. The sauce should be creamy with a bright, zesty kick that lifts the entire dish.
- Slice the rested steak into thin strips. You will notice how juicy it is, with a beautiful sear on the outside.
- To assemble your Steak Avocado and Roasted Corn Bowl with Cilantro Cream Sauce, start with a base of warm rice. Add the sliced steak, roasted corn, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle generously with the cilantro cream sauce.
- Every bowl comes together like a little work of art, full of color and texture.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add more chili powder or fresh jalapeños.
- Feel free to substitute the steak with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
