Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Steak: I prefer sirloin for its tenderness and flavor, but feel free to use your favorite cut.
Avocado: Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly when pressed; they add creaminess to the dish.
Fresh Corn: Use sweet corn on the cob for roasting; nothing beats that smoky sweetness.
Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of brightness; don’t skip it unless you’re one of those people!
Sour Cream: A base for your creamy sauce; opt for full-fat for extra richness.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice enhances flavors and brings everything together beautifully.
Spices: Cumin, chili powder, and salt elevate the taste profile—don’t hold back!

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by dicing your avocado into small cubes and set them aside. Shuck the corn from its cob—try not to eat half of it raw; it’s too tempting!

Season the Steak: Rub your steak with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes while you preheat your grill or skillet.

Cook the Steak and Corn: Grill or pan-sear the steak over medium-high heat until cooked to your preference—about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare will do nicely. Toss the corn on the grill until it’s slightly charred.

Make Cilantro Cream Sauce: In a small bowl, mix sour cream with chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning to taste—this creamy goodness elevates everything!

Assemble Your Bowl: In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, layer sliced steak, roasted corn kernels, and diced avocado. Drizzle generously with cilantro cream sauce.

Serve With Style!: Garnish with extra lime wedges and perhaps some fresh cilantro leaves. Watch as everyone dives in with excitement!

Enjoying a steak avocado and roasted corn bowl with cilantro cream sauce is like inviting sunshine into your home—even on rainy days! The combination of flavors creates an experience that makes every bite memorable, perfect for gatherings or cozy nights in front of Netflix.

Now go ahead and treat yourself (and those lucky enough to share) to this delightful dish!
