3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfectly Cooked Fajita Bowl

Prepare the Steak Marinade

Mix 1 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss the sliced steak in this marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cook the Steak

Heat a skillet or use an Ninja Foodi Smart XL Indoor Grill & Air Fryer Combo for quick and even cooking. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, then cook the marinated steak over medium-high heat until browned and cooked to your desired level (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté sliced onions and bell peppers until tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble the Fajita Bowl

Layer your bowl with the cooked steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and any toppings you like such as shredded cheese or sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a burst of freshness.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Low Carb Steak Fajita Bowl

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet or microwave until heated through. For best results, store the cooked steak and vegetables separately to retain their textures.
