Grain Bowls with Grilled Corn, Steak, and Avocado

Ingredients for Grain Bowls with Grilled Corn, Steak, and Avocado

• 450g skirt or flank steak

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more

• 3 large or 4 small ears of corn, shucked

• 375g cooked whole grains, such as quinoa, farro, rice, or barley

• 90g crumbled feta or Cotija cheese (about 60g )

• 4 spring onions, thinly sliced

• 60ml extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 1 avocado, peeled, thinly sliced

• Creamy Jalapeño Sauce (for serving)

Season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Let sit at room temperature 30 minutes.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or heat grill pan over medium-high. Grill steak, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of steak registers 120–52°C for medium-rare (2–3 minutes per side for skirt; 3–4 minutes per side for flank). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 10 minutes or until cool.

Meanwhile, grill corn until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and let cool.

Slice corn off cobs into a large bowl. Add grains, feta, spring onions, oil, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoons salt and stir to combine. Divide corn mixture among bowls.

Thinly slice steak against the grain (to make slicing easier for skirt steak, cut into 5"–6" segments, then slice against the grain). Top bowls with steak and avocado. Drizzle jalapeño sauce over; season with salt and pepper.

Do Ahead: Steak and corn can be grilled 3 days ahead. Transfer to separate airtight containers and chill.
