Description

A healthy steak fajita bowl recipe loaded with lean sirloin, roasted peppers, onions, grains, and topped with avocado and lime—perfect for meal prep or clean weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb flank or sirloin steak, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish


Instructions

  • Marinate sliced steak in olive oil, lime juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add sliced peppers and onions. Sauté until tender and slightly charred.
  • Warm the rice or cauliflower rice and add it as the base in your bowl.
  • Top with steak, veggies, avocado slices, and fresh cilantro.
  • Squeeze lime juice over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add jalapeños or red chili flakes to the marinade.
  • Swap rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice to lower the carbs.
  • Double the recipe for weekly meal prep—store ingredients separately for freshness.
