Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean flank steak
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 optional avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup fat-free Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour the marinade over the steak, and ensure it is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off.
Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, prepare the bowl ingredients. Divide the cooked brown rice, black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, and shredded romaine lettuce evenly into four bowls.
Top each bowl with slices of the grilled flank steak.
Garnish with diced avocado (if using), fresh cilantro, and a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your healthy Low Fat Chipotle Steak Bowl!
