Southwest Steak Bowls Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a small bowl, combine the spices for the steak marinade: chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• STEP 2.Rub the spice mixture all over the steak, making sure to coat it evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.

• STEP 4.While the steak is resting, prepare the other ingredients. Cook the rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the black beans and corn.
• STEP 5.To assemble the bowls, start with a base of rice or quinoa. Top with sliced steak, black beans, corn, avocado, salsa, and any other desired toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
