How to make Quick Skillet Beef Fajita Bowls

1. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 lb of thinly sliced skirt or flank steak with 2 tablespoons of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning. Toss to coat the beef evenly and let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature, or while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the marinated beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
3. Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same hot skillet. Add the 2 large, sliced bell peppers and 1 medium, sliced yellow onion.
5. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred around the edges.
6. Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Toss everything together briefly to combine and warm through, about 1-2 minutes.
7. To assemble the bowls, divide the 4 cups of cooked rice evenly among four serving bowls.
8. Spoon the beef and vegetable fajita mixture over the rice in each bowl.
9. Garnish each bowl with 0.25 cup of fresh chopped cilantro, 1 diced medium avocado, 0.25 cup of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and 0.5 cup of salsa, if desired, to add fresh flavors and textures.
10. Serve the Quick Skillet Beef Fajita Bowls immediately for a satisfying and flavorful lunch.
