Keto Carne Asada Bowl Recipe

This low carb recipe has no grains and no sugar—it's completely keto-friendly. Not only that, but this keto recipe is even an immune system builder!

This carne asada bowl recipe is an incredibly fresh, light, and tasty salad with skirt steak. Skirt steak is fattier, which is actually a lot better. The leaner the protein, the faster it will actually spike your blood sugars. There's also some avocado in this dish, which gives you even more delicious healthy fat.

Ingredients
 

Steak and Marinate:

1 1/2 lbs skirt steak

1/3 cup olive oil

3 limes, juiced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp chili powder

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions 

1. Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. 
2. Add the steak to a glass baking tray and pour the marinade on top, fully coating everything.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for an hour or more.
4. Heat a grill (or pan) on medium-high heat and let the grill/pan get hot before putting the steak on.
