Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the bell peppers into wide, flat strips to act as the 'chips'. Lay them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush the bell pepper slices lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
Season the steak with the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (suggested medium-rare, internal temperature of 135°F).
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak rests, bake the bell pepper strips in the oven for 5 minutes to slightly soften them.
Remove the bell pepper 'chips' from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Return the bell peppers to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Top the cheese-covered bell peppers with the sliced steak, dollops of sour cream, guacamole, jalapeño slices, chopped cilantro, and green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Steak Nachos!
