1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 large onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

Flour or corn tortillas

For serving (optional):

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Steak:

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and all spices.

Add the sliced steak and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).

2. Cook the Peppers & Onions:

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sliced bell peppers, onion, garlic, and jalapeño (if using).

Sprinkle with chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside.

3. Cook the Steak:

In the same skillet, add the marinated steak in a single layer. Cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and slightly charred.

Return the peppers and onions to the skillet, tossing everything together for 1-2 minutes.

4. Assemble the Fajitas:

Warm the tortillas and fill them with the spicy steak and veggies.

Add toppings like sour cream, guacamole, salsa, cheese, and fresh cilantro.
