Description

A flavorful and nutritious bowl featuring marinated skirt steak, vibrant roasted vegetables, and riced cauliflower, perfect for family gatherings.


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 cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 10-ounce bag riced cauliflower
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced


Instructions

  1. In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the marinade ingredients: skirt steak, chipotle peppers, avocado oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the steak thoroughly. Marinate for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prepare the red bell pepper and yellow onion by slicing them into strips. Place them on a sheet pan, drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin. Roast the veggies for 15 to 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. As the vegetables roast, heat 1/2 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the riced cauliflower, stirring regularly until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  4. Shake off excess marinade from the steak. In the same skillet at medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once hot, add the skirt steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until medium rare (about 130°F). Rest the steak for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips against the grain.
  5. Assemble the bowls by spooning riced cauliflower, roasted veggies, and sliced steak into bowls. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For a customizable experience, serve each component in separate bowls, allowing everyone to create their ideal meal. Consider using chicken, shrimp, or tofu for different protein options.
