Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the marinade ingredients to a bowl or shallow dish and stir. Add the steak, toss to combine, and marinate for 1 to 4 hours.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let the steak rest for several minutes.
  3. While the steak is resting, heat the oil in the same skillet on medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper slices and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. When the onion and bell peppers are just about done, slice the steak into long, diagonal strips.
  5. Add the steak back to the skillet, and stir everything together.
  6. Serve immediately with tortillas and your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, pico de gallo, and avocado (or guacamole).
