Ingredients
  

For the Steak Fajitas
  • 1 lb flank steak sliced into thin strips
  • 1 bell pepper any color sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil to sauté everything beautifully
  • 1 tbsp fajita seasoning the secret to that authentic taste
For the Seasoned Rice
  • 1 cup long-grain rice the perfect base for your fajitas
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water for cooking the rice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder for a hint of garlic goodness
  • 1 tsp onion powder to enhance the flavor
  • 1 tsp cumin brings a warm, earthy note
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Large Skillet
  • Fork

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, vegetable broth (or water), garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak to the skillet and season with fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Return the cooked steak to the skillet, mix with the vegetables, and cook for another minute to heat through.
  4. Step 4: Serve the steak and vegetable mixture over a bed of seasoned rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
