Method
 

Instructions
  1. Whisk olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Marinate the steak for at least 20 minutes or up to 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Cook rice with water or broth according to package instructions. Stir in lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, and salt once cooked.
  3. Cook the steak in a hot skillet or grill pan for 4–6 minutes per side until desired doneness. Rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  4. Prepare toppings by draining beans, slicing avocado, and chopping vegetables.
  5. Assemble bowls with cilantro lime rice, sliced steak, and desired toppings. Serve immediately or store for meal prep.

Notes

For meal prep, store avocado separately to prevent browning. Steak can be substituted with grilled chicken or portobello mushrooms for variation.
