Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs flank steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over the meat.
  • Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  • Cook the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.

  • While the steak rests, fold the remaining half of the cilantro-lime marinade into the warm cooked rice.
  • Slice the steak thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
  • Distribute the cilantro-lime rice, black beans, corn, and diced red onion equally among four bowls.
  • Top each bowl with the sliced steak and garnish with additional lime wedges if desired.
