Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cooked short grain brown rice (prepped ahead if possible)
  • 1 soft boiled egg
  • 6 asparagus spears, cut into 2" pieces
  • 4 ounce steak of your choice (I used filet mignon)
  • 1/2 a ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onions
  • 1/3 cup baby arugula or baby grees
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • Tabasco sauce (optional) for egg

Instructions

  1. If you haven't pre-prepped rice, cook according to package instructions. I always cook more than I need so I have it ready for protein bowls throughout the week.

  2. Cook egg: Bring a pot of water to a full boil, turn down heat to a gentle boil, use a spoon to lower egg into water. Boil for seven minutes. Place a bowl of ice in the sink and fill with water. Place egg in the ice bath for 2 minutes. Peel.

  3. While egg is cooking, make dressing and cook steak.

  4. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, a little sea salt and black pepper, set aside

  5. Cut asparagus and slice steak in 1/2 inch pieces. Season steak with sea salt and pepper. Set a grill pan on cooktop on high heat for two minutes. Drizzle with olive oil. Add asparagus to pan and cook for 1 minute, add steak and sear each side for 2 minutes for medium, less time for rare, more time for well done.

  6. Place warm rice, asparagus, steak, lettuce, pickled onions and avocado around the perimeter of a bowl. Cut egg in half and place in the center of the bowl. Drizzle lemon dressing over everything but the egg. Sprinkle egg with sea salt and pepper and a dash of tabasco if desired. Serve!
