Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 8 oz steak strips
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups fresh lettuce or mixed greens
- 1 avocado (optional), sliced
Seasoning & Garnishes
- 2 tsp fajita seasoning
- 1 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Season the steak strips evenly with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Cook the steak: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add half the oil. Add the seasoned steak strips and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining oil to the same skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble the bowl: In serving bowls, place a bed of fresh lettuce or mixed greens. Top with the cooked steak strips, sautéed peppers, and onions. Add sliced avocado if using.
- Add final touches: Drizzle lime juice over the assembled bowl for brightness and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the fajita seasoning.
- Substitute steak with chicken breast or tofu for variation.
- To keep it keto-friendly and low-carb, avoid adding rice or beans.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor impact.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
