For Roasting the Veggies

Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
- In a bowl or shallow dish, combine the chipotle peppers, oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Add the skirt steak, toss to coat, and marinate for a few hours or overnight for best results.
- Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
Step 2: Roast the Vegetables
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Toss sliced bell pepper and onion with oil, salt, pepper, and cumin on a sheet pan.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add riced cauliflower and cook, stirring often, until slightly golden and tender, about 15 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Cook the Steak
- Shake off excess marinade from the steak.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until medium-rare (130°F internal temp).
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
Step 5: Assemble and Serve
- Divide cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, and sliced steak into 3 bowls.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Marinate the steak overnight for maximum flavor.
- Use frozen pre-riced cauliflower to save time.
- Add avocado or sour cream for extra creaminess if desired.
