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

🧑🍳 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.
