    This recipe originally published December 2017 and updated with all new photos, step by step instructions and cooking tips.

     Low Carb Steak Taco Bowl uses leftover meat and veggies you probably already have on hand. Cook this recipe in a large skillet for a one pot meal!   This steak taco recipe is super flexible as you can use any leftover beef or steak. You can also use ground beef here, but I find the steak strips make for a heartier, more satisfying meal.

    Why this recipe works:

    • Uses leftover beef or steak for an economical meal option.
    • One pot meal for quick clean-up.
    • Easily made family-friendly by serving in flour tortillas.
    • Ready in under 30 minutes!

    The main ingredients:

    • Mushrooms- I use portobello- use your favorite type
    • Peppers- poblanos or bell peppers may be used
    • Steak- choose your preferred type of steak- anything from filet to sirloin to round steak will work
    • Taco Seasoning mix- this helps add the authentic Mexican flavor. I use a lower sodium variety.
    • Queso- melting cheese makes a delicious topping to this steak bowl. If you don't have quest, sprinkle on whatever cheese you like.

        This is the white cheese served with chips in Mexican restaurants. It is usually found on the chip aisle or in the cooler with other cheeses. Also velveeta makes a queso melting cheese that will work. Hope that helps!
