Ingredients
- 500g sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 bell peppers, sliced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Toss the sliced steak with cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat until just smoking.
- Sear the steak in a single layer for 2 minutes per side, then set aside.
- Add the remaining oil, peppers, onion and garlic to the same skillet and cook 5-6 minutes until charred at the edges.
- Return the steak to the pan, squeeze over the lime juice and toss to combine.
- Warm the tortillas and serve the steak and pepper mixture family-style.
