Low-Carb Steak Taco Bowl

This low-carb Steak Taco Bowl is an easy meal and a great lunchbox option that can be ready in less than 20 minutes. Even less if you prep the bowl while the steak is searing and resting, or if you use leftover steak from last night's dinner.

It's packed with flavor using simple fresh ingredients: cilantro lime cauliflower rice, juicy steak, avocado, sour cream, homemade tomato salsa, crunchy jalapeños, and radishes. Yum! This recipe can easily be scaled up to make multiple servings as well.

Tip: This easy taco bowl is a great option for those who practice intermittent fasting as just one serving will provide enough protein, fat and electrolytes to keep you full and nourished for longer.

Step-by-step

1. Heat the butter over medium-high heat in a small skillet. Season the filet with salt and pepper. Sear the filet for 4 to 8 minutes per side, depending on how you want the steak cooked.

2. Transfer to a cutting board and allow to rest while you assemble the rest of the bowls.

   

3. In a bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice with cilantro and lime juice.
   Note: You can cook the cauliflower rice by steaming, microwaving, pan roasting or oven baking. Here's a guide on how to make and cook cauli-rice.

4. Top with other toppings. Thinly slice the steak and place on top of the cauliflower rice.

   

5. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a day.
