Steak Fajita Power Bowls Recipe


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Steak:
    • 1 lb flank steak (or skirt steak)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons lime juice
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • For the Fajita Vegetables:
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 bell pepper (sliced, any color)
    • 1 onion (sliced)
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • For the Bowls:
    • 2 cups cooked rice (brown rice, white rice, or quinoa)
    • 1 can (15 oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
    • 1 avocado (sliced)
    • Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
    • Lime wedges (for serving)
    • Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
    • Salsa (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5–7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
  5. Remove from heat and let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  6. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion, then season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  8. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  9. Add a serving of cooked rice or quinoa to each bowl.
  10. Top with sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, black beans, avocado slices, and any optional toppings such as sour cream or salsa.
  11. 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.
