Instructions

  1. Make Corn Salsa

    Add ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and add any additional salt, cilantro, or lime juice.

  2. Prepare Steak

    Pat steak dry with clean paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place steak in a large reusable silicone bag or glass baking dish and set aside.

  3. Marinate Steak

    Add olive oil, fresh lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, garlic, soy sauce, kosher salt, and cilantro into a small mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or more.

  4. Cook Steak

    Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Sear the steak on each side until desired doneness is reached. Rest the steak on a cutting board for 10 minutes.

  5. Cook Veggies

    Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Add garlic, onion, bell peppers, and fajita seasoning. Sauté until cooked to your liking.

  6. Finish Veggies

    Sauté for 10-15 minutes or until peppers reach desired doneness. Adjust seasoning if needed.

  7. Serve

    Slice the steak and assemble bowls with rice, steak, veggies, corn salsa, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro lime sauce, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime wedges.
