Description
A delicious and healthy high protein steak fajita bowl featuring marinated steak and sautéed vegetables served over rice or quinoa.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 2 medium Bell Peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 large Onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Divided for cooking)
- Cooked Rice or Quinoa (For serving)
- Fresh Cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Return the sautéed veggies to the skillet, mixing them with the cooked steak. Stir for an additional minute to meld the flavors.
- 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 best flavor, marinate the steak for longer if time allows.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
