Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 1 1/2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (optional)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or feta (optional)

  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

  2. While steak marinates, make the chimichurri: mix parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill steak for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  4. To assemble the bowls: divide rice between bowls, then top with steak slices, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cheese if using.

  5. Drizzle generously with chimichurri and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

  • Great for meal prep! Store ingredients separately and assemble when ready to eat.

  • Swap rice for quinoa or greens to lighten it up.

  • Leftover chimichurri makes a great marinade or dipping sauce.
