Ingredients
For the Sirloin Steak
- 2 Nutrafarms sirloin steaks (approximately 6–8 oz each)
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3–4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
For the Honey Chipotle Sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or chipotle purée
- Juice of ½ lime
For the Corn and Black Bean Salad
- 1 can (341 mL) corn, drained
- ½ can black beans, drained and rinsed
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 tsp Tajín seasoning
- Juice of ½ lime
For Serving
- 1 cup uncooked rice (approximately 3 cups cooked)
- Guacamole, homemade or store-bought
- ¼ small red onion, finely diced
- Fresh cilantro and lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
1. Cook the Rice
Rinse the rice and cook according to the package or rice cooker instructions.
Starting the rice first allows it to cook while you prepare the steak and toppings.
2. Season the Sirloin Steaks
Pat the Nutrafarms sirloin steaks dry with a paper towel.
Season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Gently rub the seasonings into the steaks and let them rest for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
3. Prepare the Honey Chipotle Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the honey and finely chopped chipotle peppers.
Stir until well mixed and set aside. You'll add the lime juice when finishing the steak.
For a milder sauce, reduce the chipotle. For more heat, add a little extra.
4. Sear the Steaks
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
If your sirloin steaks have a fat cap, hold them fat-side down against the pan first to help render the fat.
Sear for approximately 3 minutes per side, adjusting the time based on thickness and preferred doneness.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for at least 10 minutes.
5. Make the Corn and Black Bean Salad
While the steaks rest, combine the drained corn and rinsed black beans in a bowl.
Add the Tajín seasoning, salt, and juice of half a lime.
Toss until evenly coated and set aside.
6. Slice the Steak
Once rested, cut the sirloin steaks into bite-sized cubes.
Save any juices released while slicing to add back into the sauce for extra flavour.
7. Make the Garlic Honey Chipotle Steak
Return the same skillet to medium-low heat and add the butter.
Once melted, add the chopped garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the cubed steak and any reserved juices back into the pan.
Pour in the honey chipotle mixture and squeeze in the remaining half lime.
Toss gently for 30–60 seconds, just until the steak is warmed through and coated in the buttery sauce.
8. Assemble the Steak Bowls
Start with a serving of fluffy rice.
Add the honey chipotle steak, spooning some of the garlic butter sauce over the top.
Arrange the corn and black bean salad alongside the steak, then add a scoop of guacamole and freshly diced red onion.
Finish with cilantro and an extra lime wedge, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Why You'll Love These Honey Chipotle Steak Bowls
Sweet and smoky: Honey balances the smoky heat of chipotle peppers for a sauce that's full of flavour.
Tender, flavourful beef: Nutrafarms sirloin steak is seasoned, seared, rested, and finished in garlic butter.
Fresh and satisfying: Corn, black beans, guacamole, and lime add colour, texture, and freshness.
Great for meal prep: Prepare the steak, rice, and corn salad ahead of time for easy meals throughout the week.
Easy to customize: Adjust the spice level, add extra vegetables, or swap the rice for your favourite base.
Pro Tip
For the best texture, let the steak rest before slicing. This helps retain its juices and keeps the beef tender.
When adding the steak back to the skillet, toss it briefly in the honey chipotle sauce rather than cooking it for several more minutes.
For meal prep, refrigerate the steak, rice, and corn salad promptly in separate airtight containers. Add fresh guacamole when serving.
