Description

A vibrant and satisfying meal featuring tender steak, colorful bell peppers, and zesty lime, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

  • Steak (flank, sirloin, or ribeye)
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Yellow Bell Pepper
  • Green Bell Pepper
  • Onion (red, yellow, or sweet)
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cumin
  • Chili Powder
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lime Juice
  • Avocado (optional)
  • Sour Cream (optional)
  • Cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the steak: Slice your steak against the grain into strips roughly 1/2 inch wide. Season the strips generously with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef in a single layer and sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving it.
  3. Rest the steak: Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the veggies.
  4. Cook the veggies: In the same skillet, toss in slices of bell peppers and onion. Sauté until soft and caramelized—about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine steak & veggies: Return the rested steak to the skillet, stirring gently to mix with the sautéed vegetables. Heat it through for another minute.
  6. Finish with lime: Drizzle the mixture with fresh lime juice just before serving.
  7. Serve: Dish out portions, topping with any desired extras like avocado, sour cream, or cheese.

Notes

Consider marinating the steak ahead of time for deeper flavor. Customize veggies and proteins based on preference.
