Ingredients

  • 600g rump steak, trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 red capsicums, de-seeded and sliced thinly

  • 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced thinly

  • Soft tacos, to serve

  • Lettuce leaves, to serve

  • Lime wedges, to serve

  • Sour cream, to serve

Mexican Seasoning:

  • 1½ tablespoons paprika

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Method

  1. Combine all Mexican seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl and mix to combine. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the mix and rub the remainder over the steak.

  2. Heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add the oil and then cook the steak for 3 minutes each side or until cooked through. Remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the capsicum and onion to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes or until tender.

  4. Transfer the capsicum and onion to a bowl. Slice the meat into 1cm strips, then place in another bowl or on a serving platter.

Cook’s Tips:
Make it easier: To make this meal even faster to prepare, use a seasoning mix like Pams Mexican Spice Mix. If you have leftovers, pop them in a pita pocket for lunch.
To Serve:
Serve as a shared meal with the meat, capsicum and onion on a platter. Accompany with warmed tortillas, lettuce, lime wedges, sour cream and extra Mexican seasoning.
