Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb flank steak Can be substituted with chicken breast or tofu.
  • 1 cup brown rice Cook according to package instructions.
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced Any color bell peppers can be used.
  • 1 cup broccoli florets Fresh or frozen broccoli works well.
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced Adds creaminess to the bowl.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for marinating and cooking.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season to preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking 1 cup of brown rice according to the package instructions. This will usually take about 45 minutes, so give yourself some time.
  2. While the rice is cooking, take the flank steak and season it with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Cooking
  1. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated flank steak. Sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing based on your preferences.
  2. Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil if needed and toss in the sliced bell peppers and broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they’re vibrant and tender but still crisp.
  4. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. This technique will ensure each bite is tender and flavorful.
Assembly
  1. Begin with a base of brown rice. Top it with sautéed vegetables, sliced flank steak, and creamy avocado.
  2. Don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top for that extra zing!
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Healthy Steak Bowl immediately, possibly with additional lime wedges on the side!

Notes

If you’ve got leftovers, store the meal in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it for up to 2 months. When reheating, warm the components separately to maintain texture.
