Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak or skirt steak

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 small onion, sliced

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the steak, coating it well. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, ideally for 1-2 hours for maximum flavor.

    Cook the Steak: Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

      Sauté the Veggies: In the same pan, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat until they are softened and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice on the bottom. Add a generous serving of sliced steak, followed by the sautéed vegetables, and black beans.

          Top It Off: Add diced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro. Optionally, include a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

            Serve: Enjoy your high-protein steak fajita bowl warm, and savor the delicious flavors of this hearty meal!
