A comforting and filling one-bowl meal featuring marinated steak, sautéed veggies, and cauliflower rice, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
For the marinade
- 1 1/4 lbs Beef flank steak or skirt steak (Best cuts for flavor and texture.)
- 1/3 cup Fresh lime juice (Helps tenderize and brighten the flavor.)
- 1 tsp Chili powder (Add more for extra heat.)
- 1/4 tsp Smoked paprika (For a smoky flavor.)
- 3/4 tsp Fine sea salt (Adjust to taste.)
- 1/2 tsp Ground cumin (Adds depth to the flavor.)
- 6 tbsp Olive oil (For marination.)
For the bowl
- 3 pieces Bell peppers (Use a mix of red, yellow, and green for color.)
- 1 Large Onion (Chopped.)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Minced.)
- 12 oz Frozen or fresh cauliflower rice (A low-carb base.)
- 1 Avocado or guacamole (For topping.)
- 1 cup Dairy-free sour cream (Optional.)
- 1 cup Fresh salsa (Optional topping.)
- 1/4 cup Fresh cilantro leaves (For garnish.)
Instructions
Marinate the Steak
- Begin by marinating the beef flank or skirt steak in lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, ground cumin, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Veggies
- While the steak is marinating, chop the bell peppers, onion, and garlic.
Cook the Veggies
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the onion and garlic until soft, then add the bell peppers and cook until they are tender.
Cook the Steak
- Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the marinated steak to your desired doneness, then let it rest before slicing it thinly.
Assemble the Bowls
- To assemble the bowls, start with a base of cauliflower rice, add the sautéed veggies and sliced steak.
- Top with fresh cilantro, avocado or guacamole, dairy-free sour cream, and fresh salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
Let the food cool before covering for leftovers. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep salsa and avocado separate to maintain freshness.
