Comfort‑Food Cheesy Steak Fajita Casserole

Ingredients

• 300 g Flank steak, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Cauliflower rice
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 Green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Fajita seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic powder)
• 1/4 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 9‑inch casserole dish.

2. 2

   In a skillet over medium‑high heat, add olive oil and sauté the sliced steak with half the fajita seasoning until browned, about 4‑5 minutes; set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the sliced red and green peppers, the remaining fajita seasoning, and sauté until softened, about 3‑4 minutes.

4. 4

   While the vegetables cook, place cauliflower rice in a microwave‑safe bowl, cover, and microwave 3‑4 minutes until tender; let cool slightly.

5. 5

   Combine the cauliflower rice, heavy cream, and half of the shredded cheddar in a bowl; season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6. 6

   Layer the casserole: spread the cauliflower‑cheese mixture as the bottom crust, top with the sautéed steak strips, then the peppers, and finally sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25‑30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

8. 8

   Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve.
