Ingredients
1 lb flank or skirt steak
1 cup quinoa
2 ears corn or 1 1/2 cups corn kernels
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 avocado
Salt to taste
1 tbsp water (if needed to thin)
Instructions
1. Rinse the quinoa and cook it in 2 cups water or broth with a pinch of salt. Simmer for 15 minutes, fluff, and set aside.
2. Blend cilantro, yogurt, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, avocado, and salt until creamy. Add water if needed.
3. Roast corn on a grill or hot skillet with olive oil until lightly charred. Let cool, then cut off kernels.
4. Season steak with salt and pepper. Sear on high heat in a skillet or grill pan for 3–4 minutes per side. Let it rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
5. Assemble bowls with quinoa, steak, corn, and avocado. Drizzle cilantro cream sauce on top. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime juice.
Notes
Always let steak rest before slicing to lock in the juices.
Use broth instead of water to boost quinoa flavor.
Add jalapeño to the sauce for a spicy version.
