🍳 How to Make Steak & Pepper Fajita Rice Bowls
- Cook the rice according to the packet instructions. Drain if needed, cover and keep warm.
- Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of Fajita Seasoning. Heat a heavy frying pan until very hot.
- Cook the steak to your liking, allowing approximately 2–3 minutes per side for a 2cm-thick steak cooked medium. Transfer to a board and rest for 8 minutes.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan with the peppers and onion. Cook over a high heat for 5–6 minutes until tender with browned edges.
- Stir the black beans, sweetcorn and remaining seasoning through the hot rice. Add a squeeze of lime and season to taste.
- Slice the rested steak thinly across the grain. Divide the rice between bowls, then add the vegetables, steak and avocado.
🍚 Serving Suggestions
Finish with tomato salsa, yoghurt or soured cream, pickled onions or a little grated cheese. Pack leftovers without the avocado and add it just before serving.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Resting the steak keeps it juicy, while slicing across the grain makes every piece tender. Adding beans and sweetcorn to the rice spreads the fajita flavour throughout the bowl and makes the meal satisfyingly substantial.
