Ingredients
  

For the Steak

  • 1 lb flank steak or sirloin for a tender, juicy bite
  • ¼ cup soy sauce for savory marinade
  • 2 tablespoons honey to balance the salty soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar for a splash of acidity
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil for rich, nutty flavor
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated

For the Grilled Vegetables

  • 2 medium zucchinis sliced into ½ inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil to help spices stick
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for subtle smoky taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Bowl Assembly

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa serves as a hearty base
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 medium avocado sliced
  • fresh cilantro for garnish
  • lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger. Whisk until well blended. Place steak in a resealable bag, pour marinade over and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, toss zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. Ensure well-coated.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Place marinated steak on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • After flipping steak, add seasoned zucchini to the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until fork-tender.
  • Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Prepare serving bowls with 2 cups of cooked rice or quinoa in each.
  • Thinly slice rested steak against the grain and layer on top of rice. Add grilled zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado.
  • Drizzle reserved marinade over bowls, sprinkle with sesame seeds, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For best results, marinate steak for up to 2 hours and cut against the grain when slicing.
