Notes
Steak: Flat iron steak is my very favorite for this. You could also use a skirt steak. Or thicker steak like ribeye or New Yorks, they will just take a few minutes longer per side to cook since they're thicker.
Spice Rub: This spice rub isn't spicy at all. My kids will eat it. This blend is my favorite steak blend. If you like it spicier, you could add in cayenne pepper to taste. Or top with jalapenos!
Stove Top Cooking: This would work in a cast iron skillet as well! Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add in 1 tablespoon avocado oil and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Follow the rest of the recipe as outlined above.
Gas Grill Cooking: Heat your gas grill over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Also cook for 5 minutes per side and follow the recipe as outlined above.
Taco Toppings: My go to keto friendly taco shell is jicama wraps. I can get at Trader Joes, Sprouts, Whole Foods, even Costco! But feel free to use your favorite. Butter lettuce or romaine lettuce works too!
