High Protein Steak Fajita Bowl (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Steak and Marinade

01 - 450 grams skirt steak
02 - 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped, with sauce
03 - 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
04 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
05 - 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
06 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Cauliflower Rice

07 - 0.5 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
08 - 285 grams riced cauliflower
09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Roasted Vegetables

10 - 0.5 tablespoon avocado oil
11 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
12 - 0.5 yellow onion, sliced
13 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
14 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl or shallow dish, whisk together chipotle peppers with adobo, avocado oil, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Submerge skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring all sides are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.
02 - Preheat oven to 200°C. Arrange sliced red bell pepper and yellow onion on a baking tray. Drizzle with avocado oil and sprinkle with ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes until vegetables are tender and edges slightly charred.
03 - While vegetables roast, heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add riced cauliflower and stir frequently for about 10 to 15 minutes until golden and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
04 - Remove excess marinade from the steak. Heat avocado oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add steak and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until medium rare (internal temperature 54°C). Transfer steak onto a cutting board, rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
05 - Divide cauliflower rice among three bowls. Top each with roasted vegetables and sliced steak. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal tenderness, marinate the steak overnight and always slice against the grain after resting.
