Ingredients

• 1 pound beef sirloin
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 medium red onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small jalapeno pepper
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and black pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the red onion and red bell pepper into thin strips. Mince the garlic and thinly slice the jalapeno pepper, removing seeds if you prefer less heat.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil until hot. Add the sliced beef in batches, cooking each batch for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the garlic, red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are well coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Return the beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until the beef is heated through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro on top.

Step 7

Meanwhile, cut the cauliflower into florets and process them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Step 8

In a separate pan, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Serve the keto lomo saltado over a bed of cauliflower rice. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
