Ingredients

6 servings

2 pounds skirt steak, cut into bite-size pieces, about 1/2" - 3/4"
3 tablespoons light flavored olive oil, divided
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin ((see note below))
1 teaspoon NM chili powder ((see note below))
1 teaspoon kosher salt ((see note below))
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika ((see note below))
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder ((see note below))
1/4 teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder ((see note below))
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust for more heat ((see note below))
2 -4 fresh limes, halved
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps

Cut the steak into bite-size pieces, about 1/2" - 3/4" in size. Drizzle the meat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle the meat generously with all of the spices.
Heat a heavy flat bottomed stainless skillet over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Swirl to coat the pan. Add half the meat and spread it across the pan.
Cook for 1 minute and then use a large spatula to flip the pieces over. Cook 1 more minute. Use a spatula to remove the meat to a plate and then repeat with the second batch of meat pieces.
Squeeze a lime into the empty skillet and scrape up any pan drippings. Drizzle the meat drippings over the steak bites on the plate. Garnish with cilantro and squeeze additional lime over the meat before serving, or serve with lime slices. Serve hot. Enjoy!
