Equipment
- Small bowl
- Non-stick pan
- Kitchen paper
Ingredients
- 1½ tsp Chilli powder
- 1 tsp Cumin (ground)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- ½ tsp Smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Lime (juice of 1 lime)
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 300 g Beef steak (cut into slices)
- 100 g Rice (white rice)
- 1 Onion (peeled and sliced into wedges)
- 2 clove Garlic (peeled and chopped)
- 1 Red bell pepper (deseeded and sliced into strips)
- 1 Yellow bell pepper (deseeded and sliced into strips)
For the toppings
- ½ tsp Ground pepper
- 1 Avocado (cut into slices)
- 2 tbsp Natural yoghurt
- 1 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the chilli powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Reserve 11⁄2 teaspoons for the vegetables.
- In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce and spices. Add the steak slices and combine everything thoroughly to flavour the meat.
- When the steak is marinating, put the rice in a small saucepan with 250ml boiling water and simmer until cooked, roughly 10 to 12 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, shaking the pan regularly.
- Add the peppers and sprinkle with the reserved fajita spices. If you like the peppers with a nice crunch, cook for about 3 minutes; if you like them softer, leave them on for about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Transfer and set aside on a plate.
- Wipe out the same pan with some kitchen paper then sear the steak in 1 tbsp of olive oil. Allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes (depending on how well cooked you like it) on each side.
- Now it’s time to assemble your fajita bowl! Fill 1 or 2 bowls with rice and top with steak, onions and peppers. Finish off with your choice of toppings.
