Ingredients

  • 1 pound Flank Steak cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon 16g Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup 60g Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Corn Tortillas Cilantro, White Onion, Salsa Verde or Hot Sauce for serving

Instructions

  • In a resealable container or bag, mix the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and spices. Add the steak pieces and stir to coat. Seal and rest at room temp for 30-60* minutes while you prepare any side dishes or accompaniments.
  • When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, add the steak pieces to the skillet in an even layer, making sure to let any excess marinade drip off before adding to the pan.
  • Cook for 60-90 seconds to brown one side before stirring and adding any remaining marinade to deglaze the skillet. Continue cooking until the steak is cooked to your liking, another 2-3** minutes or so.
  • Serve on corn tortillas topped with diced white onion, chopped cilantro, and salsa verde or your choice of sauce.

Notes

* With the amount of lime juice in the marinade, you won't want to marinate too long. Otherwise the steak could start to do funny (bad) things.
** The steak will cook quickly. You can remove it from the pan early while any remaining marinade reduces for more rare steak pieces.
To double the recipe, do everything the same and just cook in two batches or two separate pans to avoid overcrowding.
