Method
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, steak seasoning, and smoked paprika.
- Rub the mixture all over the steak, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Let the steak sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
- Pour in the water or chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Fluff with a fork and season with salt to taste.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F).
- Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium, and 150-155°F for medium-well.
- Once the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- While the steak is resting, heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil and then add the sliced bell pepper and red onion.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Add the diced zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt or sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well to combine. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if you want a little heat.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Divide the rice among bowls.
- Top with the grilled steak, sautéed veggies, and diced avocado.
- Drizzle generously with the sauce.
- Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different cuts of steak, rice varieties, and vegetables. Add a dollop of sriracha or a drizzle of honey to the sauce for a personalized touch. The rice, veggies, and sauce can be prepped a day in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator. Marinating the steak ahead of time enhances flavor.
