Pick a steak, any steak. Maybe the one that has been sitting in your freezer for a couple of weeks now. You know you want to eat it and you have been putting it off for a while. Maybe because it’s frozen, or maybe just because you are used to having it with mashed potatoes. Well, that ends today, because once you make these keto burrito bowls, you will not be missing your mashed potatoes anymore.

We’ve just raised the stakes.

Keto Burrito Bowl Recipe

I’ll be real with you now, the real components of this dish that make it a “burrito” bowl, are the guacamole, pico de gallo and cauliflower rice. The steak is kind of filling a supporting role here. However, it is still steak. Which means, it can’t be underestimated.

I chose steak for this keto burrito bowl because it carries the flavours perfectly and leaves me very satiated.

That been said, here is what you are going to need to make this

  1. Your favourite cut of steak. I made this with a flat iron steak.
  2. Bell peppers, red and green.
  3. One small red onion.
  4. 3 Avocados.
  5. Lime & Cilantro of course.
  6. Smoked paprika.
  7. Cauliflower
  8. Some butter & olive oil to fry the steak
  9. Garlic
  10. Salt & Pepper to taste

That’s it.

The best thing about these Keto burrito bowls is that they’re perfect for meal prep. You can make it ahead of time, build up your bowls (in this case topperwares) and just grab one as you leave for work.

Home chef’s tip

If you are going to be meal prepping, you’re probably better off undercooking your steak.

For example: If you like your steak to be medium rare, you should stop cooking it when it’s just rare, this way when you warm it up your microwave at work, it will be just perfect.

Questions you might have.

Can I make this using any other type of meat? Yes, you can make this recipe with chicken, shrimp, ground beef, pork chops, whatever your heart desires.

Can I make this if I’m vegan? Yes, all you gotta do is swap the beef for some tofu or tempeh, the butter for some olive oil and you’re good to go.

Are these Keto Burrito Bowls healthy? Yes, if you are following a low carb diet. They’re high in nutrients and are also gluten-free.

Let me know if there are any other questions down in the commentary box.

Notes

About the pico de Gallo: While the classic version calls for a whole lot of tomatoes, in order to keep this recipe keto friendly, I decided to cut the tomatoes short and swap them for low carb bell peppers.
You will end up with lots of pico de gallo on hand. It will keep up in the fridge for up to 3 days.
