Instructions

Whisk olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add sliced steak, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté bell peppers and red onion 5–6 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove vegetables and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook marinated steak 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed. Return vegetables to skillet and toss together. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture.
Spoon cauliflower rice (or brown rice) into bowls. Top with steak and pepper-onion mixture.
Add optional toppings: corn, avocado, Greek yogurt or sour cream, cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Notes

Marinating steak longer (up to 2 hours) enhances flavor.
Use cauliflower rice for low-carb option or brown rice for a heartier meal.
Optional toppings: corn, cheese, avocado, Greek yogurt, and fresh herbs.
