This power bowl features perfectly seared flank steak sliced thin against the grain for maximum tenderness. The homemade chimichurri adds a burst of herby, garlicky freshness that elevates everything.

This is the kind of recipe that defines American home cooking at its best — straightforward, satisfying, and built on flavors that everyone loves.

Why This Recipe Works

Slicing against the grain shortens the muscle fibers, making even a lean cut like flank steak melt-in-your-mouth tender. Resting the steak redistributes juices for a better bite.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 1 cup brown rice, cooked
  • 1 cup roasted broccoli and bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chimichurri sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season flank steak generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with olive oil for 4-5 minutes per side for medium.

  2. 2

    Rest steak for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

  3. 3

    Roast broccoli and bell peppers at 425°F with olive oil and salt for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Divide rice between bowls and top with sliced steak and roasted vegetables.

  5. 5

    Spoon chimichurri sauce generously over each bowl.

Tips & Storage

Pro Tips

  • Let the steak come to room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking for an even sear.

  • Make a double batch of chimichurri and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.

  • Let the protein rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.

  • Season each component individually rather than seasoning at the end — this builds deeper, more complex flavor throughout.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.

Reheating

Reheat steak and veggies gently in a skillet; chimichurri stays at room temp.
