Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs flank steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup corn
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Remove flank steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve better searing.
- Rub the entire surface of the steak with olive oil, then generously coat with taco seasoning, pressing the seasoning into the meat to ensure good coverage.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until it's very hot and shows slight smoke.
- Place the seasoned steak in the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
- Remove steak from heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, which keeps the meat tender.
- While steak rests, warm the cooked quinoa and prepare corn and diced tomatoes.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips to ensure maximum tenderness.
- Assemble bowls by first placing quinoa as the base, then arranging steak slices on top.
- Garnish each bowl with corn, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the bowl.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Always let your steak rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution. • Pat your meat dry for the ultimate sear—moisture is the enemy of a perfect golden-brown crust. • Use a cast-iron skillet for the most authentic and flavorful steak cooking experience. • Slice steak against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness in every bite. • Don't skip the resting period after cooking—it's crucial for keeping your meat juicy and delicious. • Fresh lime wedges are not just a garnish, but a flavor enhancer that brings the entire dish to life. • Prep all ingredients beforehand to make the cooking process smooth and stress-free.
