Steak and Vegetables
- 1 lb. flank steak
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 cups corn kernels
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Sauce and Seasoning
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough for a good sear on the steak and vegetables.
- Season the Steak: Season the flank steak generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder to infuse it with flavor before grilling.
- Grill the Steak: Place the flank steak on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness. After grilling, let the steak rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Grill the Vegetables: While the steak is resting, grill the corn kernels, red bell pepper slices, and diced red onion until charred and tender, enhancing their natural sweetness with a smoky flavor.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, and chili powder to create a creamy, spicy sauce that complements the grilled ingredients.
- Assemble the Bowls: Layer cooked white rice in bowls, then top with sliced steak, grilled corn, bell pepper, and onion. Add sliced avocado, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and a dollop of the chili cream sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish each bowl with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, adding a refreshing citrus brightness.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of your Street Corn Steak Rice Bowl.
Notes
- Letting the steak rest after grilling is key to juicy, tender meat.
- You can substitute flank steak with skirt steak or sirloin if preferred.
- To save time, use pre-cooked or leftover rice.
- Adjust the chili powder in the sauce to your desired heat level.
- Grilling vegetables adds a smoky flavor, but you can also roast or sauté them as alternatives.
