Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds top sirloin steak (cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili or chipotle powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 lime (juice only)
- soft taco wraps and toppings like pico de gallo, romaine lettuce, pickled red onions, crumbled cotija or feta cheese, cilantro lime dressing (optional to serve)
Instructions
- Season the steak cubes by tossing them with taco seasoning, ground cumin, chili powder, and sea salt in a bowl. Allow to sit for up to 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak in three separate batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side without stirring.
- After each batch, clean the pan with a paper towel to remove excess juices.
- Once all steak is cooked, return it to the pan, squeeze lime juice over the meat, and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure steak pieces are small enough to fit into tacos for easy eating.
Searing the steak without stirring helps achieve a nice browned crust.
Serve immediately for the best flavor.
