Low Carb Carne Asada Salad

Carne Asada Salad

Ingredients:

3/4 - 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into thin strips

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

3 tablespoons lime juice

1/2 cup sour cream

sea salt or pink Himalayan salt

1/2 cup large pieces of yellow onion

2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage

1 avocado, sliced

1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) grated monterey jack cheese

1/4 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)

Method:

Place the steak in a shallow dish and season with garlic powder, chili powder and cumin. Sprinkle both sides. Drizzle the lime juice over the seasoned steak and marinate for 1 hour. Remove from the marinade and cook quickly on a George Foreman Grill, under the oven broiler, or stir fry in a skillet.

Make a salad dressing by mixing the leftover marinade with the sour cream and salt and pepper to taste.

After the meat is grilled, place the onion slices on the grill to char. Divide the shredded cabbage and sliced avocado between to plates. Divide the steak and onions on top of the cabbage on each plate. Sprinkle each salad with cheese and drizzle with the sour cream dressing. Top with the pepitas. Makes 2 dinner servings.

Note: Just something that I put together with ingredients I had on hand, that I really enjoyed.
