Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank or skirt steak, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2–3 tbsp water, to thin dressing
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa (or rice if preferred)
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and rub evenly over both sides of the steak.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp about 130°F). Adjust time for preferred doneness.
  3. Transfer steak to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, orange juice, honey, and minced garlic. Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until dressing is smooth and pourable. Season with salt to taste.
  5. If not pre-cooked, rinse 1 cup dry quinoa under cold water. Combine with 2 cups water in a pot, bring to boil, then simmer low and cover for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let cool slightly.
  6. Halve cherry tomatoes, dice avocado, finely chop red onion, shred lettuce, and chop cilantro.
  7. Assemble the bowl by layering cooked quinoa as the base, then black beans, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, red onion, avocado, and sliced steak on top. Sprinkle cheese if using.
  8. Drizzle tahini-citrus dressing generously over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a lemon wedge.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes if preferred. Enjoy with tortilla chips or warm pita bread.

Notes

Rest the steak for 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy. Thin slices against the grain make the steak tender. Add water gradually to the tahini dressing to avoid it becoming too runny. For a vegan or dairy-free option, omit cheese or use plant-based alternatives. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days, keeping dressing and avocado separate until serving.
