Method

Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips, about half an inch wide. Chop bell peppers and onions into similar-sized pieces.

Marinate the Steak

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced steak with olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Toss until well coated and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Sauté the Vegetables

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Toss in the onions and peppers. Cook until vibrant and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Cook the Steak

Increase the heat to high and add the marinated steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for 3-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
