For the Marinade

1 lb Flank steak Substitute with skirt steak or chicken if desired.
1/4 cup Fresh lime juice Lemon juice can be used as an alternative.
1/4 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped Use parsley as a substitute if not a fan of cilantro.
2 tablespoons Olive oil Avocado oil or canola oil can also be used.
2 cloves Garlic, minced Garlic powder can be a substitute.
Salt and pepper to taste Garlic salt can be used for extra flavor.

For Serving

Cooked rice or quinoa Brown rice or cauliflower rice are healthier options.
Toppings (e.g., avocado, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, extra cilantro) Customize toppings to your preference.

Marination

In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the flank steak in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

Preheat grill or pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached.
Let steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembly

Assemble bowls with rice or quinoa as the base, topped with sliced steak and your choice of toppings.
Drizzle with extra lime juice and serve immediately.

Avoid skipping the marinade to enhance flavor. Letting the steak rest before cutting keeps it juicy. Use a meat thermometer for the perfect doneness.
