Method
 

Instructions
  1. Marinate the Steak: Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, cumin, minced garlic, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Place steak in a ziplock bag, pour in marinade, seal, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
  2. Prepare the Grill: Remove marinated flank steak and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
  3. Grill the Steak: Cook the steak on the grill for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the Corn: Grill corn on the cob for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Alternatively, sauté frozen corn in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  5. Prepare the Quinoa: Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically rinse, combine with water, bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover for about 15 minutes.
  6. Make the Mango Avocado Salsa: Combine diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, tomatoes, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and olive oil. Toss gently and season with salt and cilantro.
  7. Assemble the Bowls: Layer quinoa, slice grilled steak against the grain, add grilled corn and mango avocado salsa. Drizzle with ranch dressing and sprinkle cheese if desired.
