Description

A nutritious and flavorful steak fajita bowl made with marinated skirt steak and roasted vegetables over riced cauliflower.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound skirt steak
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped) with sauce
  • 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado or olive oil (for roasting veggies)
  • 1 ten-ounce bag riced cauliflower
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (for veggies)


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients: chipotle peppers, 2 tablespoons of oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the skirt steak and toss to coat thoroughly. Marinate for a few hours or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  4. Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into strips, place them on a sheet pan, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of oil, and season with salt, pepper, and cumin.
  5. Roast the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
  6. While the veggies roast, heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower and stir until golden and tender.
  7. Shake off excess marinade from the skirt steak and add to the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until desired doneness.
  8. Let the steak rest before slicing against the grain.
  9. Assemble the bowls with riced cauliflower, roasted vegetables, and steak served warm.

Notes

Consider marinating the steak overnight for enhanced flavor. Customize ingredients to suit your taste.
