Instructions



1. Take a plastic ziplock bag and add the first 12 ingredients and mix them well. Then add the steak. Don't slice the meat; large pieces are easier to grill. Place the bag in the refrigerator overnight.
   
2. Take meat out of refrigerator to bring to room temp. Place onion and bell peppers in a bowl and toss with 1 T olive oil.
   
3. Heat grill. Place steak on grill.
   
4. Add a teaspoon or 2 of olive oil to a cast iron skillet and heat on high. When the pan is hot, add the bell pepper and onion. Add a sprinkle of sea salt. Cook till veggies are translucent. Stir occasionally but let them brown a bit. Keep warm in the pan.
   
5. When steak comes off grill, let it rest on cutting board while you heat tortillas either in oven or microwave.
   
6. Slice steak into thin strips across the grain and place in warmed dish or bowl. Serve with peppers, onions, tortillas, and condiments.
