Instructions

Marinate the steak by whisking together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, sea salt, smoked paprika, and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Coat the steak thoroughly and let marinate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
Remove the marinated steak from the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Sear the steak for about 4 minutes on each side until medium rare. Use a thermometer to check doneness.
Let the cooked steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and onions in olive oil for about 5–7 minutes until tender.
In another pan, cook cauliflower rice with olive oil for about 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and lime juice.
Assemble your bowl starting with cauliflower rice topped with sliced steak, sautéed veggies, and your choice of avocado or guacamole.
