**Mexican Pepper Steak**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
– 2 bell peppers (red and green), sliced
– 1 large onion, sliced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and season with salt and pepper. Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the sliced peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
3. Add the cooked beef back to the skillet with the vegetables. Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, paprika, and dried oregano over the mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the flavors to meld together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
4. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If you prefer a little more heat, you can sprinkle in some red pepper flakes at this stage.
5. Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Mexican Pepper Steak hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and additional flavor.
6. This dish pairs beautifully with warm flour tortillas, rice, or a crisp green salad. You can also serve it with a dollop of sour cream or a side of creamy guacamole to add a cool contrast to the warm, spicy flavors of the steak and peppers.
