Steak Bowl
Description
This recipe starts by marinating the flank steak in a mix of fresh parsley, smashed garlic, olive oil, low sodium soy sauce, sriracha sauce, lemon zest, and lemon juice to impart bright, spicy, and savory notes. After at least one hour, the steak is pan-seared on medium-high heat with butter and oil to develop a caramelized surface while keeping the interior tender.
Resting the steak before slicing against the grain ensures juicy slices and tender texture. The steak slices are served over cooked rice, accompanied optionally by corn, avocado salsa, and sour cream, which add contrasting textures and cooling creaminess to the bold steak flavors.
This bowl is flexible with toppings and grain base, fitting a casual meal or a satisfying lunch. The recipe notes calories exclude optional toppings like sour cream and avocado salsa, making it customizable for dietary preferences.
Ingredients
For the Marinade:
- 1 bunch parsley
- 5 cloves garlic smashed
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce low sodium
- 2-3 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 1½-2 lb flank steak
If Pan Frying:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For Everything Else:
- 4 cups rice cooked
- 4 cups corn optional, salsa
- 4 cups avocado optional, salsa
- 4 tbsp sour cream optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the parsley, smashed garlic cloves, olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Add a flank steak to the bowl and give it a good mix so it’s well coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of an hour.
- When the steak is ready, set it on the counter for 5 minutes.
- Pan-sear (or grill if you prefer) the flank steak by heating up a cast iron on medium-high heat with butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the flank steak to the pan. Sear each side for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of your steak.
- Allow the steak to rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Serve with your toppings of choice over a bed of rice (or quinoa if you prefer).
