It can be made ahead of time, and even though I don't include a sauce with the recipe, you can add one to really change it up if you want to eat it multiple times in a week.

Radish

Why no sauce?
I didn't include a sauce on this one because I feel when you mix it all together there is a lot of flavor in the avocado, cauliflower rice, and steak that it doesn't need one.
However, if you feel you need a sauce (I understand, it does seem weird not to have one on a bowl sometimes), feel free to add one.
Some sauce ideas could be as simple as a drizzle of olive oil and then can be things like a pre-made salad dressing. I just wouldn't go too strong on flavor as it'll compete with the elements in this dish.

Steak Bowl (Paleo, Whole30, AIP)
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil (divided)
- 1 small Sweet Potato (peeled and diced or sliced into “fries”)
- 1 small Beef Sirloin Steak (approx 3-4 oz)
- 3/4 tsp Sea Salt (divided)
- Optional: Herbs like Rosemary, Oregano, Thyme
- 1 cup Cauliflower Rice
- 1/2 Avocado
- 1 Radish (sliced)
- 1/4 Cucumber (sliced)
- 1 cup Olives
- 1 handful Baby Spinach (or other leafy green)
- 1 tsp Lime Juice
- Additional Sea Salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the sweet potatoes with 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp avocado oil. Place in the oven and roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tsp of the oil in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Rub the remaining teaspoon of avocado oil over the steak, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 sea salt, and if desired, sprinkle some herbs like rosemary, oregano, and/or thyme over each side as well.
- Once the oil in the pan is hot, place the steak into the pan and leave for 5 minutes without disturbing, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes. This is a great time to slice the other veggies if you haven't done so yet! Check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer and remove it from the pan when done. (130 F for rare, 135 for medium-rare, 145 for medium and 155 for well done). Cover with some aluminum foil or a kitchen towel and let rest while you go onto the next step.
- Put the cauliflower rice directly into the pan where the steak was and stir occasionally, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until done, about 5 minutes. The rice will turn brown and get a delicious nutty flavor.
- Assemble the bowl. Sprinkle the lime juice and extra sea salt over the avocado. Enjoy!
