Categories     main dish     meat

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 whole beef flank steak
1/2 c. olive oil
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/3 c. fresh-squeezed lime juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp. cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. sugar
2 medium onions, halved and sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
Oil, for frying
Flour tortillas, warmed
Cheese (grated cheddar/Jack or crumbled queso fresco), for topping
Salsa, for topping
Sour cream, for topping
Cilantro leaves, for topping

Steps:

  • In a dish, mix together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and sugar until combined. Pour half of the marinade into a separate dish. In one dish, place the flank steak, turning it over to coat. In the second dish, place all the veggies, turning to coat. Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Prepare the tortillas and toppings.
  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle in some oil. Add the veggies and cook them for a few minutes, until they're cooked but still slightly firm and have nice black/brown pieces. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Heat the same same skillet (or a grill pan if you have it) over high heat and drizzle in some oil. Cook the meat for about 2 minutes per side until medium rare. Remove and allow to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice the meat right before serving and serve with all the fixins. Delicious!

Provided by NicoleMcmom

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
½ teaspoon ground cumin, divided
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak
2 medium limes, quartered
6 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with foil.
  • Combine bell peppers, onion, 2 teaspoons oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin on the prepared pan; toss to coat. Spread veggie mixture around the sides of the pan creating a space in the center.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
  • Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice steak and return to the sheet pan. Add lime wedges and serve with tortillas.
