Ingredients
For the Steak + Veggies:
1–1.5 lb flank steak
2–3 bell peppers, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
Optional: cilantro lime rice or tortillas
Toppings: shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, sour cream
For the Marinade:
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1–2 limes
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Marinate the Steak
In a bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt. Add the flank steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).
2. Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill to medium-high. While it’s warming up, slice your peppers and onion.
3. Grill the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness), flipping once. Use a meat thermometer and aim for an internal temp of 130–135°F for medium-rare.
4. Grill the Veggies
At the same time, toss your peppers and onions into a grill basket or foil packet. Grill until softened and slightly charred, about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Rest + Slice
Once the steak hits your desired doneness, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. Then slice it thinly against the grain for max tenderness.
6. Assemble Your Meal
Build your bowls with a base of cilantro lime rice (or go low-carb with lettuce), top with grilled veggies, sliced steak, and your favorite toppings. Or grab a few tortillas and turn it into tacos.
