Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, sliced

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Greek yogurt or sour cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the flank steak using this marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

    Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook it for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F). Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Prepare Bowls: In bowls, start by layering a base of cooked brown rice or quinoa. Top with a generous portion of black beans, sautéed peppers and onions, and sliced steak.

          Add Fresh Ingredients: Top each bowl with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of lime juice, and fresh cilantro. If desired, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for creaminess.

            Serve: Enjoy your High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl while it's warm, and savor the flavors of the Southwest!
