Ingredients

Steak and marinade

  • 1 pound sirloin tips (pre-cut or cut into longer pieces than how thick they are)
  • 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/16 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Vegetables

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 1 large onion (sliced thin rings)
  • 1 large red bell pepper (sliced thinly)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder (or more if you like spicier)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic paste (or 2 cloves of garlic crushed)

Building the bowl (these amounts are approximate)

  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce
  • 3 cups spinach chopped up
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup corn
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream (optional - if you want dairy free - omit)
  • 4 tablespoons guacamole
  • 1/2 cup pico de gallo (or chunky salsa)

Instructions

  • Take the steak and marinade ingredients out at least 45 minutes before starting the rest of the recipe.
    1 pound sirloin tips
  • Place steak in a glass container or gallon ziplock bag. Add Worcestershire sauce, coconut aminos, cumin, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and ground pepper. Place the lid on the glass container (or zip the bag) and shake until the marinade covers the steak. Keep it on the counter for 45 minutes.
    1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/16 cup coconut aminos, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • Heat sauté pan or wok on high for 2 minutes, lower the heat to medium-high heat and add olive oil.
    2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Once the oil heats up (shimmers), add onions, peppers, cumin, chipotle, salt, and garlic, and sauté for 10 - 15 minutes until done to your liking.
    1 large onion, 1 large red bell pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons garlic paste, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
  • Get out your air fryer. Take the trays out if you have that version and line them with the steak tips, ensuring space between each tip. Set the temperature to 400 F and the timer for 4 minutes. Once the air fryer beeps that it is done preheating, add the trays to the oven.
    If you have the basket type, leave it in while you preheat the oven. Once it preheats, add the tips leaving space between each one.
    1 pound sirloin tips
  • Build the burrito bowl in this order: iceberg lettuce, a handful of chopped spinach, cooked onion and peppers, beans, corn, steak, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
    2 cups iceberg lettuce, 3 cups spinach, 1 cup black beans, 1 cup corn, 4 tablespoons sour cream, 4 tablespoons guacamole, 1/2 cup pico de gallo

Notes

Helpful tips
  • Take the steak tips out of the fridge at least 45 minutes before cooking them, so they are close to room temperature when you start. I marinate the tips on the counter as I wait.
  • The steak tips I bought weren't pre-cut so if you also buy them that way, as sirloin strips, you'll need to cut them into the tips. I cut them a little wider than they are thick.
  • I chose to cook the steak tips in an air fryer, but if you prefer to grill them, do so.
  • I don't usually have burrito bowl leftovers, but if you do, you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container.
  • If you choose to use ground meat instead of steak in this bowl, here are some great additions to the meat as you cook it: taco seasoning, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  • I use canned corn in this recipe because I like the Trader Joe's brand. But you can use fresh corn or frozen corn. You'll have to cook the corn before spooning it in your bowl.
  • You can use pico de gallo or salsa like Mitchell's Fresh.
  • If you have the tray type of air fryer, you will take out the trays before you preheat them. You will add the steak to the trays while the oven is preheating.
  • If you have the basket type of air fryer, you will preheat the oven with the basket in place and add the steak in the basket after it has finished preheating.
