### Simple Step-by-Step Instructions
**Step 1: Marinate the Steak**
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Coat the steak well and let it marinate for **20–30 minutes** (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
**Step 2: Prep the Veggies**
Slice peppers and onions evenly so they cook at the same speed.
**Step 3: Sear the Steak**
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Cook steak **3–5 minutes per side** until nicely charred and medium-rare.
**Step 4: Rest & Slice**
Let steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice **against the grain** for maximum tenderness.
**Step 5: Cook the Vegetables**
In the same pan, add olive oil and sauté peppers and onions until soft and slightly charred (5–7 minutes).
**Step 6: Combine & Serve**
Add sliced steak back to the pan, toss everything together, and serve hot with warm tortillas.
