Ingredients
- 3 large turnips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound carne asada steak (flat iron or flank steak)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Peel the turnips and cut them into thin strips resembling the size of fries.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the turnip fries with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the turnip fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Bake the turnip fries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Step 6
While the fries are baking, in a separate bowl combine lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, cumin, and cilantro to create a marinade.
Step 7
Add the steak to the marinade, making sure it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 8
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until your desired doneness is reached.
Step 9
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Step 10
Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese while still hot, allowing the cheese to melt.
Step 11
Top the cheesy fries with sliced carne asada, avocado, sour cream, and sliced green onions.
Step 12
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb carne asada fries!
