Ingredients
•
1/4 cup lime juice
•
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1 1/2 pounds beef skirt steak, cut across the grain into 1/2-inch strips
•
3 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch strips
•
1 yellow onion, cut into 1/2-inch strips
•
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
Directions
1
Whisk lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, and cumin together in a large glass or ceramic bowl until well combined. Add skirt steak, bell peppers, and onion; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to 2 hours.
2
Remove steak, bell peppers, and onion from marinade and shake off excess; discard remaining marinade.
3
Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until oil shimmers. Add steak; cook and stir until browned on all sides and still pink in center, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer steak to a plate, tent with aluminum foil, and rest for 5 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onion; cook until just tender but still crisp to the bite, 5 to 6 minutes. Return steak to the skillet; cook and stir until heated through.
