Ingredients

  • 1 lb Skirt steak
  • 1/4 cup Lime juice
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 Bell peppers
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro
  • 1 Jalapeño(optional)
  • 2 Avocado
  • 4 cups Cauliflower florets
  • 2 Eggs(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk lime juice, olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Marinate steak 15–20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop peppers and onion. Sauté in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned and tender, 8–10 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make pico de gallo: dice tomatoes, cilantro, and (if using) jalapeño; season with salt and a squeeze of lime.

  4. 4

    Char steak in a very hot pan or grill until browned to your preferred doneness, 3–5 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  5. 5

    Low-carb “rice”: pulse cauliflower into rice-size pieces and sauté 6–8 minutes until tender and dry.

  6. 6

    Optional: scramble eggs in a separate pan for extra protein; season lightly.

  7. 7

    Assemble bowls: cauliflower rice, sautéed peppers/onion, sliced carne asada, pico, and avocado. Add scrambled eggs if using.
