Carne Asada Rice Bowl

recipe

• Step 1
  Slice the steak into serving portions if needed then transfer to a zip lock bag or Tupperware. Add the marinade & coat the steak evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 min, or up to 24 hrs before cooking.
• Step 2
  Remove the steak from the fridge about 10 min before cooking. Meanwhile, small dice the tomato & onion. Rinse & roughly chop the cilantro (optional). In a small bowl, combine tomatoes, onions, cotija cheese & half of the cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil & a squeeze of lime juice. Mix it all together.
• Step 3
  Heat a grill, grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing the excess liquid to drip off. Grill the steak for 5-6 min per side, or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
• Step 4
  Heat the rice according to package instructions. Fluff & stir in the remaining cilantro with a squeeze of lime juice.
• Step 5
  Thinly slice the steak against the grain & serve over a bed of fluffy rice. Add the tomato mix on the side along with sliced avocado. Serve with more lime & enjoy!
