Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) flank steak, sliced thin against the grain

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lime juice

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow onion, sliced

1 cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 avocado, diced

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Optional toppings: Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced flank steak and toss to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Add the marinated flank steak in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

        Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked quinoa (or brown rice) among serving bowls. Top with a generous portion of the sautéed peppers and onions, followed by the cooked steak slices. Add a scoop of black beans and diced avocado on top.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and, if desired, add optional toppings such as Greek yogurt or sour cream, shredded cheese, and salsa. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
