• Onion, thinly sliced 20 g · 8 kcal
• Ground cumin 1 g · 4 kcal
• Dried oregano 0 g · 1 kcal

• Bell pepper, sliced 70 g · 20 kcal

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pound the beef steaks slightly to an even thickness if needed, then season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, minced garlic, a pinch of ground cumin, and dried oregano to create a marinade. Add the seasoned steaks, ensuring they are well coated; marinate for at least 15-30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the marinated steaks for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness.
4. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes, covered loosely with foil. While the steaks rest, add the sliced bell pepper and remaining onion to the same pan and sauté until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
5. Slice the rested steak against the grain, if desired, and serve immediately with the sautéed bell peppers and onions.
