Ingredients

• 12 ounces Lean strip steak
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (no salt added)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice
• 1 cup Black beans (unsalted, drained, and rinsed)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt (optional, as a sour cream substitute)
• 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While the steak marinates, prepare the other components of the bowl. Cook the brown rice according to package instructions if not already prepared.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 5

Assemble the burrito bowl by dividing the cooked brown rice among four bowls.

Step 6

Top each bowl with black beans, cherry tomatoes, corn, diced avocado, and sliced steak.

Step 7

Sprinkle cilantro on top and add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for creaminess if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-sodium steak burrito bowl!
