Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin (USDA Choice recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (or brown rice or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub evenly over the flank steak and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Rinse 1 cup quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa with 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness. Remove steak and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. Prepare the dressing by whisking together Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, honey, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering cooked quinoa and baby spinach as the base. Arrange cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, red onion slices, and avocado on top. Fan sliced steak over the bowl.
  6. Drizzle the creamy lime dressing over the assembled bowl. Sprinkle fresh cilantro leaves for garnish and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Rest the steak for 10 minutes after cooking to keep it juicy. Cook quinoa ahead of time to save time. Use ripe but firm avocado and add it just before serving to prevent browning. Dressing can be thinned with water or more lime juice if too thick. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
