Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flank steak or sirloin steak

3 cups cooked brown rice or white rice

3 bell peppers, sliced

1 large yellow onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons lime juice

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 large avocado, sliced

1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. Cook the rice according to package directions, then fluff it with a fork and keep it warm.

2. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

3. Pat the steak dry, then rub it with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and most of the seasoning blend.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced peppers and onion, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly charred. Transfer to a plate.

5. Return the skillet to high heat. Add the steak and sear for 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.

6. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes.

7. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.

8. Divide the warm rice between bowls, then top with steak, peppers, onions, avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, cilantro, and lime wedges.

9. Serve immediately with extra lime juice squeezed over the top.

Notes

Slice the steak against the grain after resting so it stays tender in every bite.

Keep toppings like avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and lime separate if meal prepping.

Use a very hot skillet for the steak and vegetables so they brown quickly instead of steaming.
