Units
Scale
- 1 cup cooked jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 2 thick slices of tomato
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 oz flank or skirt steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh chopped cilantro or green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cooked rice with a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for flavor. Set aside.
- Marinate steak with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for 10–15 minutes.
- Grill or pan-sear the steak on high heat for 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest, then slice thinly.
- Grill or sear the thick tomato slices and halved cherry tomatoes until lightly charred.
- To assemble: place a ring mold on a plate. Layer rice on the bottom, then sliced avocado, grilled steak, roasted cherry tomatoes, and top with a grilled tomato slice.
- Carefully remove the mold, garnish with cilantro or green onion, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, omit steak and add grilled tofu or mushrooms.
- Use brown rice for added fiber.
- Ensure steak rests after cooking to retain juices.
- Avocado should be ripe but firm for best texture.
