Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, lime juice, taco seasoning, soy sauce, and cilantro.
- 2Place the steak on a rimmed sheet pan. Pour all but ¼ cup of marinade over top. Let marinate covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
- 3Toss the peppers and onion with the remaining marinade in the large bowl.
- 4Preheat the grill over high heat, 450°F-500°F. Transfer the steak to the grill, discarding marinade, and cook, undisturbed, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F., 4-5 minutes each side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
- 5Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onion to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until slightly charred, 6-8 minutes.
- 6Thinly slice the steak and serve family-style with charred vegetables, tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
