Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or dairy-free cheese)

  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce or mixed greens
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard

  5. Cook steak strips for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.

  10. Dice avocado and halve cherry tomatoes.
  11. Chop green onions and shred lettuce.
  12. Measure out shredded cheddar cheese.
  13. Start with a base layer of shredded lettuce in a serving bowl.
  14. Layer black beans evenly over lettuce, followed by corn.
  15. Scatter diced avocado, then halved cherry tomatoes.
  16. Add shredded cheddar cheese and green onions.
  17. Top with warm steak strips.
  18. Drizzle honey mustard sauce generously over the top or serve on the side.
  19. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.
  20. Serve immediately for best texture contrast.

Notes

Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Pat steak dry before searing to get a good crust. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook steak in batches if needed. Rest steak after cooking to keep juices locked in. Assemble bowl just before serving to avoid sogginess, especially with avocado and lettuce. Honey mustard sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated. For variations, swap steak with grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or portobello mushrooms. Use seasonal veggies or add spicy elements like jalapeños or chipotle sauce.
