Step 4:

Sear the vegetables

Heat the frying pan on a high heat, add a little olive oil and allow it to heat up. Once heated, add the green peppers and quickly fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Then remove and place them onto a tray. Now add the red peppers and sear them, for no more than 1 to 2 minutes. Remove them and place them with the green peppers. Add a little more oil to the pan followed by the onions. Sear them for roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Now set them aside together with the peppers.

Step 5:

Prepare the steak

After one hour remove the steak from the marinade. Shake off the excess liquid and place it on a tray. Now season it on both sides with salt.

Step 6:

Grill the steak

Heat the grill pan on a medium to high heat. When hot, add the meat and grill it for 3 minutes on each side. However, be careful not to burn the steak. Lower the temperature if need be. When grilled, remove and place onto a tray.

Step 7:

Slice the steak

Place the grilled steak onto the cutting board. Thinly slice the meat, making sure that you cut across the grain.

Step 8:

Serve

Transfer the meat onto a serving plate and build the seared vegetables around it. Take a tortilla and add a generous helping of the meat into the centre. Add a helping of fried onion, green pepper, red pepper, lettuce, grated cheese, crème fraiche, tomato salsa and guacamole. However, you can have great fun making one any way you desire! And if you want hot tortillas just heat them for 20 seconds in the microwave or for a few minutes, in the oven wrapped in foil.
