Instructions

1

Heat Pan and Season Steak

Start by heating a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat until it’s just starting to smoke. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, kosher salt, paprika, and cumin. Rub this spice blend all over the flank steak, making sure it’s evenly coated.

2

Cook and Rest Steak

Place the steak on the hot pan and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until it’s nicely browned and cooked to your liking. Once done, let the steak rest for about 10 minutes to keep it juicy, then slice it thinly against the grain.

3

Assemble Steak Bowls

Now, divide the rice, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, tortilla chips, black beans, jalapeños, and lime wedges between two bowls. Top each one with the sliced steak, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, and a tablespoon of cilantro.

4

Blend Avocado Dressing

To make the avocado cilantro dressing, blend together the avocados, water, cilantro, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle the dressing over the bowls and enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish combines bold Tex-Mex flavors with fresh, creamy avocado dressing for a perfect balance. It’s hearty yet bright, making it a satisfying meal any day of the week. The easy assembly and quick cooking time make it ideal for busy nights.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm tortillas or over a bed of fluffy rice for a complete meal. Add a side of black beans or corn salad to boost the Tex-Mex vibe. A squeeze of fresh lime on top brightens every bite.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the avocado dressing separate and add it just before serving to maintain its freshness and color. Reheat the beef mixture gently to avoid drying it out.
