Ingredients

  • 1 lb Flank steak
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice
  • 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  • 3 Bell peppers (mixed colors, sliced)
  • 1 Yellow onion (sliced)
  • 4 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional, for topping)
  • 1 Avocado (sliced, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet.

Step 4

Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer if you prefer your steak more cooked. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

Step 6

In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the cauliflower rice for 5-7 minutes (or according to package directions), stirring occasionally, until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.

Step 7

To assemble the bowls, divide the cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each with an equal portion of sliced steak, sautéed peppers, and onions.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Add optional toppings such as sour cream and avocado slices, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb fajita bowl!
