Best Steak Marinade + DIY Buddha Bowls

You guys, I have been SO excited to share my household favorite, DIY Buddha Bowls + my favorite recipe for marinating steak. It is so so good!

I can’t even describe the level of deliciousness going on here.  To give you an idea as to how delicious, I will say, I would rather eat these steak bowls at home while my kids fling food all over the walls than go out to eat at a fancy restaurant. That’s how good!! 

So marinating does takes a little prep work,  but it is worth it in the end.  You can do it on a Sunday afternoon or if you have a few minutes during nap time and it makes cooking dinner a breeze! 

Honestly, I don’t know how anyone eats healthy without a little meal prepping.  Whether it’s marinating steaks, putting foil over some sweet potatoes and popping them in the oven or pre- chopping some veggies, on any given day it’s the only way I get a healthy, quick family dinner on the table.

Anyways, I digress. 

The awesome thing about buddah bowls is you can add any combination of veggies you like.  I almost always use broccoli, steak and avocado but this time I decided to try sweet potatoes crisps instead.  My husband and I love mushrooms but my son hates them so I let him pick what veggie combination he wants in his own bowl. 

So here’s the deal.  

1. Buy some grass fed skirt steak (I buy about 1 lb to 1 + 1/2 lbs)

2. Cut the strips into four.  

3. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper.

4. Use a knife to make some small inscisions down each side (to help Marinade penetrate more deeply) Run along with the striations in the Steak.

5. Marinate these in a zip-lock bag overnight or for a full day or two.

 For marinade:

• 3 cloves minced garlic

• 1 tsp something acidic (vinegar or a red wine)

• 1 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp Worcester sauce

• 1 + 1/2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp salt & pepper

• 1 tsp garlic salt

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tbsp honey or agave

• salt + pepper
