Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Corn
- 1 lb ribeye steak
- 2 ears fresh corn (kernels removed)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cilantro Cream Sauce
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream
- ½ cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Additional
- 2 ripe avocados
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the cilantro and slice the avocados just before serving to keep them fresh and prevent browning.
- Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ribeye steak with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness, adjusting time if you prefer a different level of cooking.
- Sauté Corn: While the steak cooks, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make Cilantro Cream Sauce: In a bowl, combine sour cream, finely chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: Slice the steak against the grain into strips. In each serving bowl, layer the roasted corn first, followed by sliced steak and avocado slices. Drizzle generously with cilantro cream sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak with olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use ripe but firm avocados for best texture in the bowl.
- You can substitute ribeye steak with sirloin or flank steak as preferred.
- This dish can be served with a side of cilantro-lime rice or quinoa for added heartiness.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
