Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak, trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub evenly over both sides of the steak. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Combine Greek yogurt, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir well and chill until ready to serve.
  3. Cook brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions, about 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  4. Heat a heavy skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F internal temperature). Adjust time for desired doneness. Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 5-7 minutes.
  5. While steak cooks and rests, rinse and drain black beans, halve cherry tomatoes, slice avocado, and chop cilantro.
  6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
  7. Divide cooked rice or quinoa between bowls. Top with black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, sliced steak, and avocado.
  8. Drizzle chipotle-lime yogurt over each bowl. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Bring steak to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Pat steak dry to achieve a good sear. Rest steak after cooking to lock in juices. Adjust chipotle peppers in yogurt sauce to control spice level. Store components separately for leftovers and add avocado fresh when serving.
