Spicy Garlic-Miso Steak Bites with Pepper & Onion Cauliflower Rice

Ingredients

• 12 oz frozen riced cauliflower (Use two 12-ounce bags.)
• 4 cloves garlic (Peeled and minced.)
• green onions (1 small bunch, washed, dried, trimmed, and sliced crosswise into thin pieces.)
• 45 ml red miso paste
• 2 red bell peppers (Trimmed, seeded, and medium diced.)
• 0.5 lb striploin (New York strip) steak (Patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes.)
• brown sugar (Amount not specified in the source.)
• unsalted butter (Used for cooking the steak and cauliflower rice; amount not specified in the source.)
• crushed red pepper (Amount not specified in the source.)
• soy sauce (Used in the marinade and added again to the cooked cauliflower rice; amounts not specified in the source.)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel and mince the garlic. Place it in a medium bowl with the red miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, and crushed red pepper. Stir until combined to make the marinade.

2. 2

   Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. Add the steak to the marinade and stir to coat thoroughly. Set aside.

3. 3

   Wash and dry the bell peppers. On a clean cutting board, trim and seed them, then cut them into medium dice. Place them in a separate medium bowl.

4. 4

   Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. 5

   While the skillet heats, wash, dry, and trim the green onions. Cut them crosswise into thin pieces, then add them to the bowl with the diced bell peppers.

6. 6

   When the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.

7. 7

   Add the marinated steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the desired doneness—about 3–4 minutes for medium.

8. 8

   Transfer the steak bites to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and set aside. Reserve the skillet and its drippings for the cauliflower rice.

9. 9

   Return the skillet with its drippings to medium-high heat. Add more butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

10. 10

    Add the diced bell peppers, sliced green onions, and cauliflower rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and cauliflower rice are tender, about 3 minutes.

11. 11

    Remove the skillet from the heat. Add additional soy sauce to the cauliflower rice and stir to combine.

12. 12

    Divide the cauliflower rice and steak bites among four plates and serve.

Notes

The source does not specify quantities for the brown sugar, butter, crushed red pepper, or soy sauce. Steak doneness is described as about 3–4 minutes for medium; adjust cooking as needed for the desired doneness.
