Ingredients
  

For the Steak

  • 1 pound flank steak (or sirloin, trimmed of any unwanted fat) Choose good quality for best flavor and tenderness.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and black pepper

For the Vegetables

  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced

For the Bowl

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice Consider gluten-free option if needed.
  • to taste Fresh cilantro, chopped For garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak

  • In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Rub the marinade evenly over the steak.
  • Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge for a deeper flavor.

Cook the Steak

  • Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, cook the steak for about 4–5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • After cooking, allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.

Sauté the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion.
  • Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Assemble the Bowls

  • In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or brown rice, followed by the sautéed vegetables, and finally, the sliced steak.

Garnish and Enjoy

  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges for a refreshing zest.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or sauté in a pan. Avoid reheating lime wedges.
