Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Rub the mixture over the flank steak, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the grill or skillet to medium-high heat (about 400°F) for a nice, seared crust on the steak.
  3. Cook the marinaded flank steak on the grill or skillet for 4-5 minutes per side, until medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to check for 130°F.
  4. Let the steak rest for about 10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  5. Grill fresh corn for a few minutes or sauté frozen/canned corn for 5 minutes. Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the red onion.
  6. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit and scoop out the flesh. Slice into wedges and drizzle with lime juice.
  7. Assemble the bowls with quinoa or brown rice as the base, followed by steak, corn, tomatoes, onion, and avocado slices.
  8. Squeeze lime juice over each bowl and sprinkle with cilantro. Optionally serve with hot sauce or salsa.
