INGREDIENTS
For the steak:
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil divided
- 1.25 pound sirloin steak or you can use another cut like skirt steak or flank steak
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the sautéed peppers and onions:
- 1 large sweet onion sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
For the steak:
- Heat a skillet over high heat and then add 1 tablespoon avocado oil.
- Mix the steak seasonings together in a small bowl and then sprinkle it on both sides of the steak.
- Add the steak to the hot skillet and sear on both sides for 3-5 minutes, or until it browns and reaches desired doneness (about 3 minutes on each side for medium rare). Transfer to a plate and set aside while cooking the onions and bell peppers to allow the meat to rest before slicing.
For the sauteed peppers and onions/fajitas:
- Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon avocado oil.
- Saute the sliced onions and minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, just until the onions start to soften and the garlic is fragrant. Then add the sliced bell peppers and continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, until it reaches desired doneness. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Once the steak has finished resting, slice it into strips or chop it into bite sized pieces. Mix it in with the sautéed onions and bell peppers.
