Ingredients
1 lb lean sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
2 cups long-grain rice, cooked
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup fresh salsa
2 ripe avocados, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Rinse rice thoroughly and cook according to package instructions.
Season sliced steak with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with olive oil.
Add steak to the hot skillet, searing until caramelized on both sides, about 3-5 minutes.
Assemble bowls by dividing cooked rice into four portions.
Top each bowl with equal portions of seared steak, rinsed black beans, corn, fresh salsa, and sliced avocado.
Notes
Ensure the skillet is fully preheated before adding the steak to achieve a golden crust. Store individual components in airtight containers for up to 3 days for meal prep. Add avocado fresh just before serving to prevent browning.
