Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients for the steak marinade. This includes the olive oil, juice and zest of a lime, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper.
- Add the steak to a shallow dish and pour the marinade on top. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a cast iron pan to medium high and place steak on. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or steak reaches desired internal temperature. I usually do around 145 degrees which is medium-medium/well.
- Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice - into strips or cubes.
- Assemble your bowls with the rice, black beans, corn, avocado, steak, then top with the cilantro lime crema.
- You can also add in some chopped lettuce, sauteed bell peppers and onions. etc! Enjoy!
Notes
Meat loves salt, so don't skimp on the salt from the marinade!
