Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, sliced against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced

1 medium onion, sliced

1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1 avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak slices and ensure they are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).

    Cook the Vegetables: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft and slightly charred. Remove them from the pan and set aside.

      Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed, and pan-sear the marinated steak over high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until your desired doneness. Remove from heat and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Assemble the Bowl: In each bowl, start with a base of quinoa or brown rice. Layer on the black beans, sautéed bell peppers and onions, and sliced steak.

          Add Toppings: Top with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and any optional toppings like shredded cheese, salsa, or sour cream. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for added flavor.

            Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm, and savor the vibrant flavors of your delicious High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl!
