How to Make Creamy and Delicious Steak Bowl

Let’s Make It Together:

In a medium bowl, combine all the salsa ingredients: corn, black beans, diced onion, jalapeño, tomatoes, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Stir well and keep this mixture in the fridge until assembly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the light sour cream, Greek yogurt, Tabasco Chipotle pepper sauce, Chamoy sauce, honey, and garlic powder. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
Prepare your steak by cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Toss the steak cubes in the neutral oil and sprinkle with the Southwest-style seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat a greased skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Now it’s time to assemble your delicious bowls! Begin with a generous bed of cooked jasmine rice. Top it with the refreshing salsa and the tasty steak.
Drizzle a generous amount of the creamy sauce over the top, followed by avocado slices and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for that fresh, crunchy finish.

Delicious Variations to Try

Spicy Kick: Add more jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
Zesty Lime Chicken: Swap out the steak for grilled chicken marinated in lime juice and garlic for a lighter version.
Veggie Heaven: Replace the steak with grilled vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and asparagus for a hearty vegetarian option.
Cheesy Delight: Top your bowl with crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese for a rich, indulgent touch.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Salsa: Prepare the salsa a day in advance for a more developed flavor. Just store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Ingredient Swaps: Feel free to substitute black beans with kidney beans or chickpeas for variety.
Slicing Tips: For perfectly-sized steak cubes, chill the meat slightly before cutting—it makes slicing easier!
Storage Suggestions: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it moist.
