Ingredients

3 lb Skirt steak, 1/2 inch thick
2 large Yellow or white onions, thinly sliced
2 large Bell peppers, thinly sliced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Lime juice
1/3 cup Worcestershire or soy sauce
4 Serrano Chiles, stemmed
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
14 oz Beef broth
2 tablespoons Safflower oil
4 large Limes, cut in half
1 cup Sour cream

Directions

1
Whisk together minced garlic, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and beef broth in a large bowl to create the marinade.
2
Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
3
Heat safflower oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until shimmering.
4
Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
5
Remove steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips.
6
In the same hot pan, add sliced onions, bell peppers, and stemmed serrano chiles. Saut&# 195;Â© for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
7
Return the sliced beef to the pan with the vegetables and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
8
Serve immediately with warm tortillas, sour cream, and fresh lime wedges on the side.

Note

For best results, slice the skirt steak against the grain to ensure tenderness.

If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the serrano chiles before adding them to the pan.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture.

Substitute skirt steak with flank steak or hanger steak if unavailable, adjusting cook time as needed.
