How to Make Steak Burrito Bowls
My Steak Burrito Bowls come with so many options so that you can customize them to what you have available for the easiest meal time possible for you and your family. It also uses items that I’ve either prepped ahead or I give options on how to make it with other ingredients so that it cuts your cooking time significantly! Here’s how I make these delicious burrito bowls.
Ingredients
To make these burrito bowls, you’ll need:
steak – flank steak – or your favorite boneless steak limes Stone House Seasoning – my family’s delicious “house seasoning” blend I developed many years ago. Our last name is Stone, hence the name for my seasoning. fresh cilantro – chopped corn black beans – you can use pinto beans if you wish brown rice cooked – you can use white rice if you prefer. My instant pot brown rice comes together in minutes, but you can also buy pre-cooked rice that only has to be heated. avocado slices pico de gallo or salsa optional ingredients – sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole
Prep or Make Ahead
If you want to prepare some of this recipe ahead, it’s perfect for that! To let you in on a little secret, I love to plan to have steak on the weekends and then just throw a couple of extras in the mix so that the steak is all ready to go for these burrito bowls later in the week. This is such a time saver during the week! I also love to cook my Instant Pot Brown Rice to have on hand for easy meals throughout the week. It’s simple to pull it out of the refrigerator or freezer and reheat it to use in these burrito bowls. Of course, it doesn’t take that long to make my brown rice recipe, but planning ahead does help even more! Some of the other ingredients can be prepped ahead, and salsa and Pico de Gallo can be made ahead of time as well to save a bit of time.
Step-by-Step Instructions
When preparing this recipe right before eating it, you’ll follow these instructions: Season the Steak. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, squeeze lime juice over the top of the steak, and then sprinkle both sides with Stone House Seasoning and chopped fresh cilantro. Then let them rest while preparing the rest of the ingredients. Add the Rice. Scoop the brown rice into the serving bowls to begin the assembly of the burrito bowls. You can also make a steak burrito bowl bar and let everyone assemble their own with their favorite ingredients. This is a fun way to serve these bowls! Cook and Add the Corn. Char the corn on the cob or cook corn kernels to a golden brown on a grill pan or in a skillet, turning with tongs as each side cooks. Once my corn has cooked, either scoop it onto the rice for the pre-assembled burrito bowls or place it in a bowl for the burrito bowl bar method. Cook and Add the Steak. Cook the steak in a grill pan or skillet with butter for three minutes on each side. Then let rest for 5 minutes off of the heat. After it rests, slice it into thin strips to for placing on the burrito bowls Add Other Toppings. Spoon black beans that have been drained onto the bowls. Add pico de gallo, sliced avocado, a squeeze of lime, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of salt or even more Stone House Seasoning. You can add the optional shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. Serve and enjoy. This is delicious served just as described, but I also love having tortilla chips and extra salsa and maybe some warm queso on the side to enjoy with this.
Storage and Make Ahead Instructions
To make ahead, prepare the burrito bowl base (rice, steak, beans, and corn) ingredients individually, according to the recipe instructions. Store in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat and assemble bowls just prior to serving, topping with fresh avocado slices and freshly chopped cilantro at that time. Salsa and Pico de Gallo can be made ahead according to their recipe instructions and added just prior to serving as well. To freeze, place the cooled steak burrito bowl base (rice, steak, beans, and corn) in airtight freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in the microwave and add fresh toppings as desired.
