# How to Make It:

02 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated steak in a single layer and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove steak from the pan and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and red onion. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and lightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - In another pan, cook cauliflower rice over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
05 - Divide cauliflower rice among 4 bowls. Top each with sautéed vegetables and steak strips.
06 - Garnish with avocado slices, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded cheese, and sour cream as desired. Serve immediately.
