# Instructions:
01 -
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness. Season the steak slices with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano, and toss to coat evenly. Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic, setting them aside.
02 -
Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and let it heat for 1-2 minutes. Place the seasoned steak slices in a single layer in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set it aside, retaining the juices in the pan.
03 -
In the same pan, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
04 -
Return the cooked steak to the skillet and mix with the sautéed vegetables. Add the beef broth or water to deglaze the pan, stirring to combine, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes until bubbly.
05 -
Remove the skillet from heat once the cheese has melted. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for added flavor, then serve with rice, tortilla chips, or a fresh salad.
