Instructions

1. Prepare Steak
Season steak with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook steak to desired doneness (about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Rest 5 minutes and slice thinly.

2. Roast Corn
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add corn and diced bell pepper, sauté 5–7 minutes until lightly charred and tender.

3. Make Cilantro Cream Sauce
In a blender or food processor, combine sour cream, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.

4. Assemble Bowls
Divide rice or quinoa (if using) among bowls. Top with roasted corn, black beans, avocado slices, and sliced steak. Drizzle generously with cilantro cream sauce.

5. Garnish & Serve
Top with extra cilantro, jalapeños, or lime wedges as desired. Serve immediately.
