- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp low sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp dried Mexican oregano
- 1 tbsp honey
- Generous pinch black pepper
- 2.5 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice

How to Make the Chipotle Burrito Steak Bowl
Step 1
Blend all marinade ingredients together in a blender or jar. Blend until smooth. You should adjust the heat by adding more honey or lime juice to reach your desired level of spiciness.
Step 2
Place the flank steak inside a sealed container or plastic bag and pour marinade solution over it. Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to achieve the best flavor.
Step 3
A cast iron or carbon steel skillet needs to be heated to its highest setting. After heating the skillet, spray it with oil then add the steak. Sear the steak for 4–6 minutes on each side based on your preferred level of doneness.
Pro Tip: Before cooking the marinated steak, allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. The steak will cook more evenly and remain juicy because of this step.
Step 4
After cooking, transfer the steak to a cutting board then cover it loosely with foil. Slicing the steak requires waiting for 10–15 minutes after it reaches room temperature.
Step 5
The cooked rice mixture with black beans, corn, red bell pepper, cilantro, cumin, and lime juice requires tossing until all ingredients combine properly before adding salt and pepper for taste.
Step 6
Place the sliced chipotle steak on top of the burrito rice mix to create your homemade chipotle steak burrito bowl.
