Skirt Steak:
Steak Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped) with sauce
- 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons cumin
- Salt and pepper to season
Cauliflower Rice:
- ½ tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 1 10-ounce bag riced cauliflower
- Salt and pepper to season
Roasting Veggies:
- ½ tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ yellow onion, sliced
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to season
- STEP 1: In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the marinade ingredients and stir well. Add the steak, toss to coat, and marinate for a few hours or overnight (preferable). Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.
- STEP 2: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice pepper and onion into strips and place them on a sheet pan. Drizzle with ½ tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and ½ teaspoon cumin. Toss to coat the veggies evenly. Roast the pepper and onion strips in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender.
- STEP 3: While veggies are roasting, heat ½ tablespoon avocado or olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add riced cauliflower and stir regularly until it turns slightly golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- STEP 4: Shake off excess marinade on steak. In the same skillet at medium-high heat, add a tablespoon avocado oil. When hot, add steak and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness), until medium rare (130 degrees F). When done, place steak on cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Once rested, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
- STEP 5: Evenly spoon rice, roasted veggies and steak into 3 bowls and serve immediately.
