Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ribeye steak
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 avocado
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp cilantro leaves
- 4 keto bread rolls
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 tbsp pickled jalapeños
- 1 tomato
- 0.5 onion
Instructions
Season the ribeye steak generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (medium-rare or medium is recommended for optimal flavor).
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Then, slice it thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Mix in lime juice, cilantro leaves, and a pinch of salt to create a creamy avocado spread.
Slice the keto bread rolls in half and spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll. Optionally, slightly toast the rolls in a dry skillet for added texture.
Assemble the tortas by layering the bottom half of each roll with a romaine lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, a few onion slices, and 1 tablespoon of pickled jalapeños.
Add an even portion of the sliced steak to each roll, then top with a generous amount of the avocado spread.
Place the top half of each roll onto the sandwich and press down gently. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Steak Torta!
