Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lbs Beef flank steak or skirt steak
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1/3 cup lime juice (juice of 2 limes)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for veggies)
  • 3 bell peppers (various colors), sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 12 oz cauliflower rice (frozen or fresh)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Avocado or guacamole
  • Dairy-free sour cream
  • Fresh salsa
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk 3 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, and cilantro. Add steak and coat well. Cover and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Take steak out of the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat dry and sprinkle with sea salt.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear steak for 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Use a thermometer if needed.
  4. Remove steak, cover with foil, and rest for 10 minutes. Then slice thinly across the grain.
  5. In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp oil and sauté peppers and onions with salt for 5–7 minutes.
  6. In another pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add cauliflower rice, cook for 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and lime juice.
  7. Build your bowl: start with cauliflower rice, add steak and veggies, then top with avocado, salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.

Notes

Pat the steak dry before searing for a good crust. Slice across the grain for tender bites. Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
