Ingredients
Scale
2 (8-ounce) sirloin steaks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
2 medium limes (zest and juice divided)
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1 tablespoon canola oil
3/4 cup long grain Jasmine rice
1 1/4 cups water or broth
2/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro (divided)
1 (15-ounce) can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cups arugula
Instructions
- Whisk 1 tbsp olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chipotle powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Coat steaks and let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Bring rice and water/broth to a boil. Simmer covered for 12 minutes, then let steam for 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime zest/juice.
- Preheat oven to 425’F. Sear steaks in canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Move skillet to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes until internal temp reaches 130-135’F for medium-rare. Rest on a board for 10 minutes.
- Combine black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, onion, feta, and remaining cilantro in the marinade bowl. Add olive oil, lime juice, and salt; toss well.
- Thinly slice steak against the grain.
- Assemble bowls with rice, arugula, salsa, and sliced steak. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime.
Notes
- Always slice steak against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- If using brown rice, increase cooking time to 40-45 minutes.
- For extra spice, add diced jalapeño to the salsa.
