Directions
1. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cayenne, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. In another small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
3. Lay the flank steak flat on a cutting board with the grain running up and down. Brush with the garlic-herb-butter mixture. Cover with a layer of cheese. Tightly roll up the meat ensuring that you cut against the grain when you slice the meat. Stick toothpicks through the sides of the roll to help it hold its shape and use a sharp knife to cut in between the toothpicks.
4. Heat a skillet over high heat, add the steak rolls, and sear until a nice crust has developed – about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat with the other side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, bell pepper and jalapeño until soft, about 3 minutes.
6. Add cauliflower rice and stir to coat well, cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly then add the spice mix and 1/2 cup vegetable stock. Allow the juice to reduce a little and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Add the steak rolls back to the skillet over the Mexican cauliflower rice and reheat quickly. Garnish with chopped parsley and parmesan shavings and serve immediately. Enjoy!
