Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a shallow dish, combine chipotle peppers, lime juice, cumin, and oil to create a marinade. Add skirt steak and coat thoroughly, then marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice red bell pepper and yellow onion into thick strips, drizzle with olive oil, season, and roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil and riced cauliflower; stir frequently for about 15 minutes or until golden and tender.
  4. Increase skillet heat to high, add marinated steak, sear for 2-3 minutes per side until medium-rare at 130°F (54°C), then let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Assemble the bowl by layering riced cauliflower, sliced steak, roasted peppers, and onions, and add avocado or lime juice as desired.

Notes

Ensure the steak is at room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Marinade longer for maximum flavor. Let steak rest after cooking to maintain juiciness.
