Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into strips

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the steak and veggies. Combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic in a jar. Shake well to mix. Divide the marinade between the steak and vegetables, reserving some for cooking. Refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.
