Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 bell peppers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
4 cups cooked brown rice
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and season it with olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred doneness.
4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. In the same skillet, cook the sliced bell peppers and onion until tender and lightly charred.
6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
7. Divide the cooked rice among 4 bowls.
8. Top each bowl with steak, peppers, onions, avocado, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and salsa or pico de gallo.
9. Finish with chopped herbs and fresh lime wedges before serving.
Notes
Do not slice the steak right after cooking; resting it first keeps the juices inside, and slicing against the grain keeps every bite tender.
