- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for veggies)

Instructions
- Whisk olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add steak, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate 20 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté bell peppers and onion 5–6 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
- Cook marinated steak in same skillet, 2–3 minutes per side, until browned. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if needed. Return vegetables and toss. Squeeze fresh lime juice over mixture.
- Spoon cauliflower rice or brown rice into bowls. Top with steak and pepper-onion mixture.
- Add optional toppings: corn, avocado, Greek yogurt, cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Notes
- Marinate steak for at least 20 minutes for deeper flavor.
- Cauliflower rice makes this dish low-carb, but brown rice can be used for a heartier meal.
