Saucy Steak Burrito Bowls
These Saucy Steak Burrito Bowls were an easy and fun recipe I got from Hello Fresh. Here is my adaptation so I can make it even if I don't order it from Hello Fresh!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine Rice
- 2 Roma Tomatoes
- 1 Red Onion
- 2 Limes
- 2 Poblano Pepper
- 1/2 oz Cilantro *Fresh cilantro has a strong aroma. So be sure to sniff your cilantro at the store to make sure it is fresh!
- 20 oz Diced Steak *I used strip steak. Not too expensive and good flavor!
- 1/2 tsp Chili Lime Rub
- 3 tbsp Smokey Latin Sauce *the original recipe called for Tex Mex paste, but I could not find anything called that. So I improvised!
- 4 tbsp Sour Cream
- 1/2 tsp Red Pepper
- 1 tsp Lime Juice
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 2-4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Avocado sliced *optional
Instructions
- In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1/2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low simmer. Cook until tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered and off heat until ready to serve.
- While the rice cooks, Finely dice tomatoes. Halve and peel the onion. Cut the onion into 1/2 inch thick wedges. Mince one or two wedges so you have 2 tbsp minced and set aside.
- Core, de-seed and dice poblano peppers into 1/2 inch pieces. Mince cilantro.
- Zest and juice lime.
- In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion and half the lime juice or 1/2 tsp of lime juice. Add sour cream and red pepper. Stir until well combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in an over sized pan over medium-high heat. Add onion wedges and poblano pepper. Season with salt, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally until charred and softened. 7-9 minutes. Transfer to plate.
- Add another drizzle of olive oil to same pan. Increase to high heat. Add steak bites and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
- Stir in Smokey Latin Sauce and 1/4 cup water until combined. Bring to simmer and cook until mixture is saucy and steak is cooked through. Turn off heat.
- Fluff rice with a fork and stir in 2 tbsp butter and rest of lime zest and half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide rice into bowls and top with veggies, saucy steak and sour cream mixture and remaining cilantro.
- Add sliced avocado and enjoy!!
