Method
- Pierce steak with a fork all over to tenderize. Season steak with cumin, garlic, spring onlions, salt and pepper. Allow steak to rest at room temperature at least 10 minutes before grilling.
- In a large pan or cast iron skillet combine onions, peppers, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Cook on medium-low heat, tossing occasionally until onions are caramelized, about 20 minutes.
- When the onions and peppers are done, set aside to keep warm. Discard spring onion and sear steak 4 – 6 minutes without moving, turn the steak over and cook a few more minutes until rare or medium rare (well done will be too tough).
- Remove from grill and let it rest a few minutes before cutting.
- Cut meat into small cubes and combine with the cooked onions and peppers and serve with tortillas, cheese, guacamole and sour cream.
