Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Marinate the beef flank steak by combining olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, fine sea salt, and smoked paprika in a bowl. Coat the steak thoroughly and let it sit for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips while the steak marinates.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated steak to your desired doneness—around 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
  4. Sauté the sliced onion and bell peppers in the same skillet for about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. Prepare the cauliflower rice according to package instructions.
  6. Assemble your bowls by layering cauliflower rice, sautéed veggies, sliced steak, avocado, dairy-free sour cream, and fresh salsa.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

Notes

Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavors and tenderness. Avoid crowding the skillet to ensure a flavorful crust on the steak.
