SEARED STEAK, PEPPER & ONION FAJITAS (FROM FINE COOKING)
Great weeknight recipe! Goes together quickly and is easy and delicious. I love the crust my cast-iron skillet provides. Sometimes I use Penzey's Southwest seaoning in place of the cumin mixture.

Steps:
- Combine the salt, pepper, cumin and cayenne in a small bowl.
- Rub the steak with the seasoning on both sides.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking.
- Put the steak in the hot pan and sear for 3 minutes.
- Turn the steak and cook for another 2 minutes (it will be very rare but will cook more later on).
- Take the skillet off the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board, and cover loosely with foil.
- Return the skillet to medium heat.
- Add the pepper and onion slices and sauté, stirring frequently, until soft, about 8 min.
- Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 1 min.
- Slide the skillet off the heat and stir in the lime juice, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
- Cover to keep warm.
- Trim the fat from the side of the steak and cut the steak into thin (1/8- to 1/4-inch) slices.
- Add the slices to the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
- Toss until well blended.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas, sliced avocado, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and cilantro sprigs.
