Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by combining the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended, then place the flank steak or sirloin in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal or cover it, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for deeper flavor absorption.
- While the steak marinates, slice the zucchinis into ½ inch thick rounds. In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for around 375°F (190°C). Once the grill is hot, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the marinated steak directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- After the steak is fully cooked, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes. While it's resting, add the prepared zucchini rounds to the grill. Grill the zucchini for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are fork-tender.
- Start with a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa, creating a hearty layer. Then, layer on the sliced grilled steak, grilled zucchini rounds, halved cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices.
- Drizzle some of the reserved marinade sauce over the top of your assembled bowls, infusing extra flavor. If you like, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for a delightful crunch. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes
Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best flavor. Make sure your grill is preheated to ensure tender meat. Slice against the grain for the best texture.
