Steak Avocado Roasted Corn Bowl (Print-Friendly Version)

Juicy steak, creamy avocado, and roasted corn unite in a vibrant bowl with zesty cilantro cream sauce.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main components

01 - 450 g flank steak
02 - 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
03 - 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
04 - 1 cup uncooked quinoa

→ Cilantro cream sauce

05 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
06 - 1/2 cup sour cream
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
08 - Juice of 1 lime

→ Seasonings and finish

09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
11 - 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra as needed

# How to Prepare:

01 - Remove flank steak from refrigeration 30 minutes prior to cooking. Pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or to desired doneness.
03 - Transfer steak to a board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain.
04 - In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté corn kernels for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and lightly charred.
05 - Cook quinoa according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and divide among serving bowls.
06 - In a small bowl, combine sour cream, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lime juice. Mix until smooth.
07 - Arrange quinoa in each bowl. Top with sliced steak, roasted corn, and avocado. Drizzle generously with cilantro cream sauce and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Resting the steak before slicing preserves the juices for a more succulent texture.
02 - Substitute with your preferred grains or proteins to personalize the bowl.
03 - Fresh corn offers pronounced sweetness and optimal charring, but frozen kernels can be used year-round.
