Ingredients

For the steak:

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1.5 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos or GF Tamari soy sauce

For the Bowls:

  • 6 cups loose greens, I use arugula
  • 1 green bell peppers
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 medium white onion
  • chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 1/2 pepitas (pumpkin seeds), for garnish

For the dressing:

  • 1 avocado
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 pepitas
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • The day before, make the marinade for the steak. Mix together spices. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, oil, and coconut aminos (or soy sauce). Add spices to create a sauce. Place steak in large dish or ziploc bag, and pour marinade over the steak. Marinate for at least 24 hours for best results.
  • The next day, heat up your grill. Grill steak for 5-8 minutes per side depending on thickness and preference for doneness. Brush peppers and onions with oil, and grill 5 minutes per side.
  • While steak and vegetables are grilling, prepare your salad dressing. Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth adding additional water if needed.
  • Prepare your bowls. Line individual bowls or one large bowl with greens. Top with vegetables, steak, tomatoes, steak, extra pepitas, and dressing. Toss to combine.
