Instructions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the steak and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor).
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Sear the marinated steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side until it’s nicely charred and cooked to your desired doneness. After cooking, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Fluff the warm cooked rice with olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Prepare the yogurt drizzle by mixing the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Assemble the bowls by layering the rice, topping with the sliced steak, and adding your preferred toppings. Finish off with a squeeze of lime juice and drizzle with the creamy sauce.

Notes

Marinating the steak for a longer period enhances the flavor.
Adjust the toppings according to your preference; avocado and tomatoes add freshness to the dish.
The yogurt can be substituted with sour cream for a different creamy texture.
