Notes
- Place the steak in the freezer for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to cut into slices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This helps break down the muscle fibers and ensures each bite is tender.
- Tailor the heat to your preference by adjusting the amount of chili powder and adding a little cayenne to the seasoning or fresh jalapeños or hot sauce.
- Don't overcook the steak. Overcooking can make the steak tough. Follow the recommended cooking times for tender results.
- Vegetables need seasoning too. A pinch of salt and a dash of spices can elevate their flavor.
