Ingredients
1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp onion powder
3 large bell peppers (various colors)
1 large red onion
1 whole lime, juiced
4 servings cooked rice or quinoa (optional)
1 large avocado (optional)
0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
0.5 cup salsa or pico de gallo (optional)
0.25 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
Instructions
1. 1. Slice the flank or skirt steak against the grain into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick.
2. 2. In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. 3. Place steak in a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with half of the seasoning. Toss to coat. Let marinate at least 15 minutes.
4. 4. Slice bell peppers and red onion into thin strips.
5. 5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion, sprinkle with remaining seasoning. Sauté 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from pan.
6. 6. Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add marinated steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
7. 7. Return veggies to the pan. Squeeze lime juice over everything. Toss to combine and heat through.
8. 8. Divide rice or quinoa among bowls. Top with steak and veggie mixture.
9. 9. Garnish with avocado, cilantro, salsa, and yogurt or sour cream as desired.
Notes
Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper searing. For more heat, add cayenne pepper to the seasoning. For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
