- 2 pounds top sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil like canola or avocado
Marinade
- 4 ounces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about half of a 7-ounce can)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ red onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- juice of 2 limes
All all marinade ingredients to a blender. Blend until it reaches a saucy consistency.
Add steak and marinade to a resealable plastic bag or lidded container and shake around until the steak is coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to cook in batches. Add the steak and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140℉, flipping once. Move the steak to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Chop steak into bite-size pieces.
Serve in bowls, tacos, salads, or burritos!
- If you want the steak spicier, add the whole can of peppers to the marinade. You can use this marinade on chicken or pork as well.
- Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
