LUSCIOUS LOW CARB TENDER BEEF FAJITA BOWL



Luscious Low Carb Tender Beef Fajita Bowl image

I love it when I discover a new low carb, South Beach way-of-life recipe, and this was one is yummo! I found this on another site, and then modified it slightly. I found that the finished product was fork-tender, flavorful, and even better without the tortillas! Since the steak is so tender and tasty in this dish, I do recommend going with a sirloin or higher-end steak, rather than an inexpensive steak - it is well worth it in this dish! A fabulous one pan-meal made in around 30 minutes - what more could you ask for??!! :-)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak or skirt steak are the best cuts for fajitas. They are both relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of marbling, which makes them tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin is always a good choice.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Fajitas are best cooked over high heat so that they get a nice sear. You can cook them in a skillet or on a grill.
  • Slice the beef thinly: Once the beef is cooked, slice it thinly against the grain. This will make it easier to eat.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite toppings: Traditional fajita toppings include tortillas, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. You can also add other toppings, such as cheese, beans, or rice.

Conclusion:

Beef fajita bowls are a delicious and easy meal that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a casual party. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and healthy beef fajita bowl on the table in no time.
