Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the flank steak to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat and sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side until well charred and cooked to your liking.
- Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- In another bowl, fluff the cooked jasmine rice with olive oil, lime zest, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Prepare the yogurt drizzle by mixing the sour cream, lime juice or Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add a splash of water to thin if necessary.
- To assemble, layer warm rice in serving bowls, top with sliced steak, and add desired toppings such as diced avocado, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onion, and fresh cilantro. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and drizzle the creamy sauce on top.
