Ingredients
For the marinade:
- 6 tablespoons canola or avocado oil divided
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup orange or pineapple juice
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon Coriander
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds skirt or flank steak
For the vegetables:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 Anaheim or poblano pepper, sliced into very thin strips
- 1 yellow onion, sliced into strips
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
For the marinade:
- In a large Ziploc bag (or shallow baking dish about the size of your steak), add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining liquid ingredients and seasonings/spices. Toss or whisk to combine.
- Add the steak and cover with marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, up to 9 hours.
- Remove the steak and pat dry.
- In a large skillet or dutch oven set over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil. Add the steak to the skillet and cook on each side for about 5 minutes or until a nice thick crust forms on each side.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest while cooking the vegetables.
For the vegetables:
- While the steak rests, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet. Add the peppers, onion, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-10 minutes, or until the veggies are soft and tender.
- Remove the foil from the steak. Cut the steak against the grain into thin slices. Toss with veggies and serve immediately.
