In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the sliced peppers and onions over medium-high heat for about 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly charred. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Assemble and Serve

Serve sliced steak over a bed of rice with sautéed veggies on the side or on top. Add your favorite toppings or scoop everything into warm tortillas for classic steak fajitas.


🧑‍🍳 Tips for Success

  • Rest the steak: Always rest meat before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Slice against the grain: This ensures tender, easy-to-chew bites.
  • Use high heat for a good sear: Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak or veggies.
  • Meal prep–friendly: The steak and veggies store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.

🥑 Customization Ideas

  • Spice it up: Add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat.
  • Make it low-carb: Swap the rice for cauliflower rice or a bed of greens.
  • Add beans or corn: Black beans, corn, or even roasted sweet potatoes are great mix-ins.
  • Top with a fried egg: For a breakfast-style fajita bowl.
