Southwest Fajita Steak Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Flank Steak

  • 4 tbsp House blend Taco Seasoning (recipe on the blog)

  • 2 tsp Salt (plus more)

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 cup Cooked white rice (days old is fine)

  • 1 tsp lime zest

  • 2 tsp Lime juice

  • 1 tbsp Butter

  • 1 tbsp Cilantro Chopped

  • 1⁄8 tsp Sugar

  • 1 small Onion sliced

  • 1⁄4 Green bell pepper sliced

  • 1⁄4 Red bell pepper sliced

  • 1⁄2 cup Sweet Corn

  • 1⁄2 cup Black Beans (may substitute)

  • 1⁄4 Orange bell pepper sliced

  • 1⁄4 cup Queso cheese

  • 1 Avocado sliced

  • 1⁄4 cup Tomato diced

  • 1⁄2 cup Lettuce

  • 1⁄4 cup Green onion sliced

  • 1⁄4 cup Olives (optional)

  • 1 small Jalapeno sliced

  • 1 Lime quartered

  • Cilantro for garnish

  • Oil as needed

Directions

  • Put room temperature flank steak in a ziplock bag and marinate for 30 mins with salt, house blend taco seasoning and worcestershire sauce (It’s important the steak is on room temperature).
  • In a bowl heat up leftover white rice, add lemon zest, lemon juice, butter and cilantro. Mix well and set aside.
  • In a skillet heat up 1 tbsp oil, to this add onions. Season with a pinch of salt and 1/8 tsp of sugar and cook until they become slightly soft. Add the tri colored bell peppers and saute for another 3 mins. When the bell peppers are soft, remove in a bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet heat 1 tsp oil, add the sweet corn, season with 1/4 tsp taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Mix well and remove from the heat after a minute.
  • Heat 1 tsp oil in the same skillet, add the black beans, season with 1/4 tsp taco seasoning and a pinch of salt. Mix well and remove from the heat after a minute.
  • Remove the steak from the ziplock and with a paper towel wipe off any excess spices from the steak. Heat 2 tbsp oil in the same skillet and add the flank steak. Do not move it around for 4 to 6 minutes (depending on your desired cook on the steak)
  • After 4 to 6 minutes flip the steak and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it rest. I cooked the steak for around 5 minutes on each side.
  • Prepare the rest of the toppings for assembly.
  • After the steak has rested for 3-4 minutes, slice it against the grain.
  • In a bowl add the cilantro lime rice, then the corn and the beans, add the onions and the peppers, sliced steak and garnish with the toppings of choice.
  • Enjoy!!
