Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Add flank steak to a resealable bag or dish. Pour marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2–4 hours).
Prepare rice per package instructions. Heat black beans in a saucepan for 5 minutes over medium heat.
Heat corn as needed—boil fresh, or warm frozen/canned varieties.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high and lightly oil. Grill steak 4–5 minutes per side to medium-rare (130°F/54°C).
Rest steak 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
Assemble bowls with rice, black beans, and corn. Top with steak, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, feta (if using), cilantro, and lime wedges.

Notes

Flank, skirt, or sirloin steaks work well.

Prep rice and beans ahead for easy meal prep.

Add hot sauce or jalapeño for extra heat.

Use quinoa, farro, or cauliflower rice for variety.

Store components separately for best texture and freshness.
