Ingredients
  

For the Steak
  • 1 lb Steak (Sirloin or Flank), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
For the Vegetables
  • 2 medium Bell Peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large Onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Divided for cooking
For Serving
  • Cooked Rice or Quinoa For serving
  • Fresh Cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the sliced steak, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prep your veggies.
Cooking Vegetables
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and slightly caramelized. Stir frequently for even cooking. Remove and set aside.
Cooking Steak
  1. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, add the marinated steak in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your preference (medium-rare is usually about 135°F).
Combining Ingredients
  1. Return the sautéed veggies to the skillet, mixing them with the cooked steak. Stir for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
Serving
  1. Serve the steak and veggie mixture over a generous portion of cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl warm for the best experience!

Notes

For a spicier kick, feel free to add jalapeños! You can also substitute the steak with grilled chicken or tofu for a vegetarian version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
