Grilled Steak Fajita Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
  • 2 bell peppers (any color), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning blend
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup cooked rice (for serving)
  • Avocado, salsa, sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim any excess fat from the steak, then slice it against the grain into 1/4-inch strips.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the sliced steak, bell peppers, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with fajita seasoning, tossing to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Ensure the grates are clean and oiled.

  4. 4

    Grill the steak and vegetables in batches if necessary, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until the steak is nicely seared and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    Remove from the grill and immediately transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve hot over a bed of cooked rice, topped with your favorite fajita fixings like avocado, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.

Why this recipe works best on a clean grill

A clean grill makes this recipe easier because the grates release food evenly, the heat moves predictably, and old grease does not smoke over the fresh ingredients. When carbon buildup sits on the grate, it can leave bitter flavors, create flare-ups, and make delicate foods stick right when they should sear.

Before cooking, preheat the grill fully, scrape the grate with a bristle-free tool, and lightly oil the surface. If your grill has yellow flames, heavy smoke, stubborn hot spots, or a greasy smell before the food goes on, it may need a deeper cleaning before your next cookout.
