Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Marinate that beautiful piece of meat for at least 4 hours (overnight if you’re a planning queen like me)
2. Slice those peppers and onions into strips (make them uniform – we’re not savages!)
3. Heat your cast iron skillet until it’s smoking hot (like your summer crush 🔥)
4. Cook the steak 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare
5. Let it rest (we all need our beauty sleep, right?)
6. In the same pan, sauté those gorgeous veggies until they’re perfectly caramelized
Serve with warm tortillas, fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, and a generous sprinkle of lime juice. And honey, if you’re feeling extra fancy, throw on some Mexican crema and queso fresco.
The best part? This recipe is totally customizable! Spice it up or tone it down – you’re the boss in your kitchen!
