How to Make It
- Slice steak thin against the grain, toss with fajita seasoning.
- Sear steak in a hot skillet 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare; rest, then slice.
- In the same skillet, sauté peppers and onion until charred at the edges, 6–7 minutes.
- Cook rice according to package directions.
- Build bowls with rice, beans, steak, peppers, and toppings.
- Serve with dinner rolls on the side.
No-Time-For-That Tip: A screaming-hot skillet is the whole secret to steakhouse-style char — don't crowd the pan or it'll steam instead of sear.
