Instructions
Creating a Skirt Steak Fajita Bowl is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the skirt steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
2. Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak is marinating, slice the bell peppers and onion. Set aside.
3. Cook the Steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
4. Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.
5. Prepare the Base: While the vegetables are cooking, prepare your base by placing the cooked rice or quinoa in bowls.
6. Assemble the Bowls: Top the rice or quinoa with the sautéed vegetables and sliced steak.
7. Add Toppings: Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
8. Serve with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
