Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Add the onions and peppers to the skillet and season with salt and pepper according to your taste.

  3. Cook the onions and peppers until the onions become translucent and the peppers become tender. This should take around 7 to 10 minutes.

  4. Remove the cooked onions and peppers from the skillet and set them aside for later use.

  5. Add the remaining vegetable oil to the skillet and let it heat for about 30 seconds.

  6. Place the skirt steak into the skillet and squeeze lime juice over it. Season the steak with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  7. Allow the steak to sit for a minute or so to get a nice sear, then cook it according to your preference. For a medium well done steak, cook it for approximately another 5 minutes.

  8. Remove the cooked steak from the skillet.

  9. To assemble the bowls, start with approximately 1 cup of rice per bowl.

  10. Top the rice with the cooked steak, onions and peppers, avocado, black beans, and corn.
