Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs Flank steak

  • 2 medium Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

  • 2 tbsp Chili powder
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 8 pieces Flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice steak against grain into thin strips

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  2. 2

    Marinate with lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic, soy

    💡 Acid-based marinades work fast (30min-2hrs), oil-based need longer. Season generously.

  3. 3

    Slice peppers and onions into strips

    💡 Cook until translucent but not browned for base. Caramelize for sweetness.

  4. 4

    High heat - cook steak first, set aside

    💡 Dont overcrowd

  5. 5

    Cook peppers and onions until charred

    💡 Cook until translucent but not browned for base. Caramelize for sweetness.

  6. 6

    Return steak to pan, toss together

    💡 Rest before slicing against the grain. Ground beef should be cooked through.

  7. 7

    Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, sour cream

    💡 Work methodically. Attention to detail separates home cooking from restaurant quality.
