Ingredients
  

Steak Marinade
  • 1 pound Skirt Steak or flank or flap steak
  • 2 tablespoons Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce minced
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado or Olive Oil or neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin fresh for the best flavor

  • 1 medium Red Bell Pepper sliced
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion sliced

  • Sheet pan
  • Skillet

Method
 

Marinating and Cooking Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine chipotle peppers, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade. Toss the skirt steak in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into strips. Toss with ½ tablespoon of oil, salt, pepper, and cumin, then roast on a sheet pan for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat ½ tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add riced cauliflower, stirring frequently until golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the marinated steak for 2-3 minutes per side until medium-rare. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Assemble your bowls by placing a scoop of riced cauliflower at the bottom, topped with roasted veggies and sliced steak. Serve immediately.
