Ingredients
  

For the Flank Steak Marinade
  • 1 lb flank steak a flavorful cut that cooks beautifully on the grill
  • 2 tbsp olive oil helps to tenderize the meat and adds richness
  • 2 tbsp lime juice brightens up the flavors
  • 1 tbsp chipotle chili powder adds smoky heat
  • 1 tsp cumin brings warmth and earthiness
  • 1 tsp garlic powder adds depth of flavor
  • 1 tsp onion powder complements the garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 count bell peppers sliced
  • 1 count onion sliced
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa a hearty base for the bowl
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Resealable Bag or Shallow Dish
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This marinade is where the magic starts!
  2. Step 2: Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. You want that delicious steak flavor to shine!
  4. Step 4: Grill the flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Don’t forget to let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing; this keeps the juices in!
  5. Step 5: While the steak is resting, grill the sliced bell peppers and onion until they're tender, about 5-7 minutes. This is when your kitchen will start smelling amazing!
  6. Step 6: To assemble the bowls, place a serving of rice or quinoa at the bottom. Top it with sliced flank steak, the grilled vegetables, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
