- Marinate the steak – Add flank steak, turning to coat completely. Cover or seal, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours for best flavor.
- Grill the steak – Preheat your grill to 450°F. Remove steak from marinade and pat lightly with paper towels. Grill for 3–6 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness.
- Rest and slice – Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Assemble the bowls – Add rice to each bowl, then top with sliced carne asada, avocado, red onion, tomatoes, cotija cheese, and any additional toppings you like.
