Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
- Remove from heat and let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, then season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add a serving of cooked rice or quinoa to each bowl.
- Top with sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, black beans, avocado slices, and any optional toppings such as sour cream or salsa.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- Marinating the steak for longer enhances the flavor.
- Customize the toppings based on your preference.
