04 - Cook cauliflower rice in a separate pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

06 - Garnish with avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • You get all those restaurant-quality sizzling fajita flavors without the post-meal carb coma that tortillas bring
  • The steak comes out perfectly seasoned every time, and the recipe doubles beautifully for meal prep lunches
  • Everything cooks in one skillet and one pan, meaning less cleanup and more time to actually enjoy eating
02 -
  • Slice your steak against the grain for the most tender bites, otherwise it can turn chewy no matter how perfectly you cook it
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steak or it will steam instead of getting that beautiful brown crust
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute back into the meat
03 -
  • Purchase pre-sliced cauliflower rice to save time, or pulse fresh cauliflower florets in a food processor until it resembles rice
  • Get your skillet ripping hot before adding the steak. That sizzle sound is exactly what creates the restaurant-style flavor
