Better Than Chipotle Homemade Steak Burrito Bowls
Description
The recipe focuses on marinating boneless steaks in a cilantro lime marinade before cooking them on a hot pan or griddle to develop a seared crust. After resting, the steak is sliced and layered with cooked cilantro lime rice, seasoned black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and fresh chopped romaine lettuce. Onions and bell peppers are sautéed in the steak pan to retain flavor and added to the bowls. Shredded Mexican blend or mozzarella cheese and optional sour cream complete the dish.
Each bowl presents a combination of warm, cooked ingredients and fresh vegetables, creating a contrast between tender steak and crisp salad components. The marinated steak imparts herbaceous and slightly tangy notes, complemented by the savory beans and sweetness of corn. This build-your-own style bowl provides flexibility for portioning and preference adjustments.
Serving the components in individual bowls allows easy customization for diners, whether adding sour cream or varying the quantity of cheese and vegetables. The recipe balances protein, vegetables, and grains in a structured yet simple preparation.

Instructions
- Marinate the steak in the cilantro lime marinade for 2-3 hours in the fridge. If you are in a rush you can also marinate the steak and cook it right away. After the steak has marinated, heat a heavy duty pan or griddle and coat with 1 teaspoon of oil, cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side then remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting. After removing the steak from the pan add the sliced onions and bell peppers. be sure not to wash the pan in order to keep all the flavor of the steak. cook the onions and peppers for 2-5 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- While the steak is cooking chop the veggies and arrange along with the cilantro lime rice in a big bowl or platter. After the steak is cooked and cut layer the burrito bowls in small individual bowls. Place a layer of rice, a layer of beans, tomatoes, and corn, a layer of steak and onions, a layer of salad, and then top with a sprinkle of cheese and a teaspoon of sour cream.
