Ingredients

  • 4 NatureFresh Farms® Long Sweet Peppers
  • 1-1/4 lb flank steak
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 11/2 tsp each ground coriander and chili powder
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro
  • 12 corn tortillas (or around 6 large flour tortillas), warmed
  • Crumbled queso fresco or shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Guacamole or sour cream

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Wash all produce before preparing your meal.

  2. Step 2

    Using the tip of a sharp knife, lightly draw knife across steak on a diagonal in 1 direction, then turning and lightly scoring the other way to crosshatch steak. Turn steak over and repeat on bottom side. Mix cumin, coriander and chili powder in a small bowl; rub all over both sides of steak.

  3. Step 3

    Place steak in a resealable bag; pour in pineapple juice, 2 tbsp of the oil and lime juice. Seal, then massage steak in bag to evenly distribute mixture. Let stand 1 hour, or refrigerate overnight.

  4. Step 4

    Trim and halve sweet peppers lengthwise; remove seeds. Cut each half into 2 or 3 long strips.

  5. Step 5

    Remove steak from marinade; season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat; sear steak, turning once, until cooked to desired doneness, around 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to cutting board; loosely cover with foil and let rest for around 5 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Wipe out skillet and return to stove over medium-high heat; add remaining oil. Fry onion, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the sweet peppers and garlic; continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until peppers are crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cilantro when serving.

  7. Step 7

    Slice steak across the grain into thin slices. Serve steak and peppers mixture with warm tortillas, cheese and guacamole or sour cream for wrapping.
