INGREDIENTS

Marinade
- 🍋 ¼ cup lime juice
- 🌿 ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
Main Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds beef skirt steak, cut across the grain into 1/2-inch strips
- 🧅 1 yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch strips
- 3 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
Cooking Oil
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed

STEPS

Whisk lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, olive oil, garlic, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak, onion, and red bell peppers; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Remove steak, onion, and peppers from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until oil shimmers. Cook and stir steak in hot oil until browned on all sides and still pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.

Heat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and peppers in hot oil until just tender but still crisp to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Return meat to skillet; cook and stir until heated through.
