# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. This is your Fiery Fajita Seasoning for the High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl.
02 -
Thinly slice 1 and 1/2 lbs flank steak against the grain. Thinly slice 2 large bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow) and 1 large yellow onion. Toss the steak with 1 tbsp olive oil and half of the prepared Fiery Fajita Seasoning.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and yellow onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
04 -
Increase heat to high. Add the seasoned flank steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. This quick sear is key for a tender High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl.
05 -
Return the sautéed bell peppers and onion to the skillet with the cooked steak. Squeeze the juice from 1 lime over the mixture and toss to combine. Cook for another minute to heat through, ensuring all flavors meld for your High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl - Easy Meal Prep Dinner.
06 -
While the steak rests, prepare your toppings. Chop 1/2 cup fresh cilantro and dice 1 large avocado. Have 1 cup salsa and 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt ready. These fresh additions elevate your High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl - Easy Meal Prep Dinner.
07 -
Divide 3 cups cooked brown rice among 4 meal prep containers or bowls. Top each with an equal portion of the steak and vegetable fajita mixture. Garnish with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, a dollop of Greek yogurt, salsa, and a lime wedge.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, marinate the steak with the seasoning and olive oil for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator before cooking.
02 -
Store assembled High Protein Steak Fajita Bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Keep avocado and salsa separate until serving for best freshness.
03 -
Feel free to swap flank steak for sirloin or skirt steak. For a lower carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or a bed of greens instead of brown rice.
04 -
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fajita seasoning or a few dashes of hot sauce when serving.
