Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz flank or skirt steak, trimmed
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (about 400 g)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Mix smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub evenly over the steak. Let rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
  2. Cook rice or grains according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
  4. Halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, thinly slice red onion, and roughly chop greens if large. Slice avocado just before serving.
  5. Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes until very hot. Add a splash of oil, then sear steak for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. Assemble bowls with a base of rice or grains, add greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Arrange sliced steak and avocado on top.
  7. Drizzle dressing evenly over each bowl and add optional toppings if desired.
  8. Gently toss before eating to combine flavors while keeping avocado intact. Serve immediately.

Notes

Let steak rest at room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Slice avocado just before serving to prevent browning. Use a hot pan and avoid overcrowding to get a good sear. Rest steak after cooking to keep it juicy. Optional toppings add extra flavor and texture. For dairy-free or vegan, substitute steak with grilled tofu or roasted chickpeas and honey with maple syrup.
