Prep
- Pat steak dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub half the spice mixture all over the steak slices. Toss peppers and onion with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the rest of the spice mix.
Cook the Steak and Peppers
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking. Add steak in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Sear 2-3 minutes without moving, until deeply browned. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
- Add peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 6-8 minutes. Return steak and any juices to the pan, toss briefly to combine, then remove from heat.
Make the Cauliflower Rice
- In a separate medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cauliflower rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and stir in lime juice off heat.
Assemble and Serve
- Divide cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top with steak and pepper mixture. Add avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.
Notes
For the most tender steak, slice against the grain and keep the pan ripping hot - a cast iron skillet works best here. If using frozen cauliflower rice, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture first or it will steam instead of sauté. Make it dairy-free by swapping the butter for more olive oil and using coconut cream instead of sour cream.
