Ingredients
- 2 lbs steak tips
- 4 bell peppers (2 red, 2 green)
- 1 red onion
- 1 avocado
- 3 Limes: 2 for juice and 1 for wedges
- 1 bunch Fresh cilantro: Handful for rice and extra for garnish
- 1 1/4 cups Shredded cheddar cheese: 1/4 cup per bowl
- 1 cup Uncooked white rice
- 1.5 packets Siete Beef Fajita Seasoning
- 1 can Corn
- 1/2 cup Avocado oil: Roughly 1/4 cup for marinade and 1/4 cup for tossing/searing
- 2 tsp Table salt
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2–3 tbsp Maldon flaky sea salt: For finishing steak and vegetables
Instructions
Marinate the steak: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup avocado oil, the juice of 1 lime, and 1 packet of Siete Beef Fajita Seasoning. Add 2 lbs of steak tips, toss to coat thoroughly, and let marinate for at least 20–30 minutes. Prep the vegetables: Slice 1 red onion into thick slices and 2 red and 2 green bell peppers into strips. Toss them with a drizzle of avocado oil and the remaining 1/2 packet of Siete Beef Fajita Seasoning until evenly coated. Cook the rice: Prepare 1 cup of uncooked white rice according to the package instructions. Once finished, fluff the rice and mix in 2 tsp table salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, the juice of 1/2 lime, and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro. Roast the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Spread the seasoned peppers and onions onto a sheet pan and roast for 20 minutes. Finish with a light sprinkle of ~1 tsp Maldon flaky salt. Sear the steak: Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of avocado oil. Cook the steak tips for about 4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest under foil. Slice and season steak: Slice the rested steak into 1.5-inch strips. Sprinkle 1–2 tbsp of Maldon flaky salt over the slices to ensure every piece is seasoned. Assemble the bowls: Evenly divide the cilantro lime rice, roasted vegetables, and sliced steak into 5 containers. Add toppings: Top each bowl with a few spoonfuls of canned corn, 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and an extra garnish of fresh cilantro. Place 2 lime wedges in each container. Store and serve: Store the containers in the fridge. When ready to eat, reheat the bowl and top with 1/4 of a fresh avocado and a squeeze of the lime wedges.
