Why You’ll Love This Steak Avocado Roasted Corn Bowl

This dish is all about balance and contrast. The grilled steak brings rich umami flavor, while the corn adds natural sweetness with roasted edges. Avocado offers cooling creaminess, perfectly offset by the zing of the cilantro-lime cream sauce. It’s high-protein, naturally gluten-free, and loaded with wholesome ingredients that satisfy cravings and fuel your body.

What Cut of Steak Works Best for This Bowl?

For tender, flavorful results, flank steak or skirt steak are excellent choices. Both cuts grill quickly and slice well against the grain, which is ideal for bowl-style meals. Ribeye can also be used for a richer, fattier bite. Be sure to let the steak rest before slicing to lock in those juices.

Ingredients for the Steak Avocado Roasted Corn Bowl

This bowl is made with wholesome, fresh ingredients that combine into something far more exciting than the sum of their parts. Here’s what you need:

• Flank steak — The star of the bowl, grilled to perfection for juicy, flavorful protein.
• Avocados — Sliced or cubed, they bring creamy richness and healthy fats.
• Fresh corn on the cob — Roasted for smoky sweetness and juicy pops of flavor.
• Lime — Adds brightness and enhances every ingredient.
• Fresh cilantro — Key in the sauce and also a garnish for herby freshness.
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt — Forms the creamy base of the cilantro sauce.
• Garlic — Minced into the sauce for bold flavor.
• Olive oil — For grilling and blending the sauce.
• Salt & pepper — Simple but essential for seasoning each layer.
• Optional base: rice, quinoa, or mixed greens — To make it a fuller meal.

How To Make the Steak Avocado Roasted Corn Bowl

Step 1: Marinate and Grill the Steak

Season the steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Grill it over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Let it rest before slicing thinly against the grain.

Step 2: Roast the Corn

Brush the corn with olive oil and grill or roast it until charred in spots, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cob.

Step 3: Make the Cilantro Cream Sauce

Blend together the cilantro, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with a splash of water if needed.

Step 4: Assemble the Bowl

Start with your chosen base (rice, quinoa, or greens), then top with sliced steak, avocado, roasted corn, and a generous drizzle of cilantro cream. Garnish with more cilantro and lime wedges if desired.

Serving and Storing This Bowl

This recipe serves about 3 to 4 people depending on portion size. It’s best served immediately to enjoy the warmth of the steak and corn against the cool cream and avocado. However, each element can be prepped ahead, making this a great meal prep option.

Store the components separately in airtight containers. The cilantro sauce lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. If you’re packing it for lunch, assemble just before eating to keep the textures fresh.
