- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ½ tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground chipotle pepper powder or chili powder
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 pounds skirt steak
- ½ tablespoon sea salt
Cilantro Lime Rice
- 4 cups cooked white rice

- ¼ cup lime juice
Chipotle Crema
- 1 cup crema or sour cream
- 2 small chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 2 cups Pico de Gallo
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 Jalapeño sliced
- ½ cup radishes sliced
- ¼ cup cotija cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
Carne Asada
- Add the skirt steak to a large ziplock bag.
- Add the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, ground chipotle pepper, cilantro and garlic.
- Toss to coat the skirt steak, place in the refrigerator and marinate for 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
- Heat a grill to high heat.
- Use tongs to remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess marinade.
- Salt the steak on both sides, then place it on the grill.
- Grill for 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the steak from the grill and rest on a cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes.
- Uncover and slice the steak against the grain, then dice into pieces for the bowl.
Cilantro Lime Rice
- Combine the cooked white rice, lime juice and cilantro together.
Chipotle Crema
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
Bowls
- Divide the cilantro lime rice between four bowls.
- Divide the diced carne asada between the four bowls.
- Add the toppings to each bowl.
- Drizzle the chipotle crema over the bowls.
Notes
- Flank steak can also be used in place of the skirt steak.
- To cook the carne asada on the stovetop – use a cast iron skillet or grill pan, if available. If not, use the heaviest bottom largest skillet you have. Turn the stove on to high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the carne asada and cook for 5-7 minutes per side.
- To cook the carne asada in the oven - turn the broiler on to high, place the steak on a large baking sheet under the broiler for 4-6 minutes per side. If using this method, be sure to keep an eye on the steak while it’s cooking as oven broilers can vary in temperature and you don’t want the steak to burn.
- To make the bowls gluten free, replace the soy sauce in the carne asada marinade with tamari, or gluten free soy sauce.
- To make the bowls low carb, replace the cilantro lime rice with cilantro lime cauliflower rice and omit the pico de gallo. Making these two changes will reduce the total carbs per bowl from 76, down to 23 grams. It will also take the net carbs down to 15 grams per bowl.
- To make the bowls dairy-free, omit the cotija cheese and replace the chipotle crema with this vegan creamy chipotle sauce.
- These bowls are perfect for meal-prep and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I recommend not adding the avocado or chipotle crema to the bowls until you’re ready to serve them.
