- 1 lb flank steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tbsp fajita seasoning
- 3 bell peppers sliced red, yellow, or orange
- 1 red onion sliced
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Combine olive oil, lime juice, fajita seasoning, and garlic in a bowl. Add flank steak and coat thoroughly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 24 hours.
2. Cook brown rice according to package directions or reheat pre-cooked rice.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté bell peppers and red onion for 7–10 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat.
4. In the same skillet or grill pan, cook the marinated steak for 3–4 minutes per side. Let it rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
5. Slice avocado, chop cilantro, and cut lime wedges.
6. Assemble bowls: start with rice, top with peppers, onions, steak, avocado, and sour cream. Garnish with cilantro and lime wedges. Serve warm.
Let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Use pre-cooked rice to save time on busy nights.
Slice veggies evenly so they cook uniformly.
