Juicy grilled steak paired with vibrant, caramelized bell peppers and onions, served over rice or tortillas for a quick, colorful, and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooked rice or warm tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Lime wedges
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, or salsa

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, turning to coat thoroughly. Let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  2. While the steak marinates, toss the sliced bell peppers and onions with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle when the steak hits the surface.
  4. Place the peppers and onions directly on the grill or in a grill basket. Turn occasionally until tender and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
  5. Place the steak on the grill and cook about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (135°F/57°C internal temperature). Use a meat thermometer if unsure. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  6. In serving bowls, layer cooked rice or tortillas, grilled veggies, and sliced steak. Top with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and optional toppings.

Notes

Do not marinate steak longer than 2 hours to avoid mushy texture. Use a hot grill for perfect sear and caramelization. Rest steak after grilling to keep it juicy. Use a grill basket for veggies to prevent falling through grates. Slice steak against the grain for tenderness. Adjust chili powder for desired spice level.
