# How to Make It:
01 - Combine olive oil, BBQ sauce, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add steak and coat thoroughly. Marinate for 15 minutes minimum or up to 2 hours refrigerated for enhanced flavor.
02 - Rinse rice under cold water until clear. In a saucepan, combine rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
03 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced bell peppers and onion, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened with slight charring. Remove and keep warm.
04 - Increase heat to high. Add marinated steak to the skillet or grill. Sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare or cook to preferred doneness. Transfer to a plate, loosely cover with foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
05 - Slice steak thinly across the grain to ensure tenderness.
06 - Distribute rice evenly among bowls. Top with sautéed peppers and onions, sliced steak, cherry tomatoes, avocado, corn, cheese, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and optional sour cream or Greek yogurt.
