Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, sliced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Salsa or hot sauce, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine sliced flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell peppers, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper, and then remove them from the skillet and set aside.

      Sear the Steak: In the same skillet, add the marinated steak in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

        Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice. Top with black beans, the sautéed pepper and onion mixture, and the sliced steak.

          Add Toppings: Finish with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges. If desired, drizzle with salsa or your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.

            Serve: Enjoy your vibrant and protein-packed steak fajita bowl immediately, garnished with additional lime and cilantro as desired.
