Ingredients

• Beef sirloin - 300 grams
• Bell pepper (mixed colors) - 1 medium
• Red onion - 1 small
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips against the grain and place in a bowl.
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the beef strips, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. While the beef is marinating, slice the bell pepper and red onion into thin strips.
5. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
6. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through.
7. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
8. Return the beef to the skillet, mixing it with the vegetables for another minute to combine flavors.
9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro.
