Chef's Tip

When working with delicate fresh herbs such as cilantro, it’s always best to chop them as close to serving as possible to prevent wilting or browning.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Sear the steak

  • Cut a small corner from the steak packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned but not yet cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Do not clean the pan.
While the steak browns, prepare the vegetables.

2

Prep the vegetables

  • Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure 1 cup [2 cups].
  • Remove the stem, ribs, and seeds from the bell pepper; thinly slice the pepper.

3

Cook the vegetables; finish the steak

In the same pan used for the steak, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the fajita spice blend and the steak and any accumulated juices and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the steak is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes for medium. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the vegetables and steak cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

4

Prep the remaining ingredients

  • Trim the root end from the lettuce; separate the leaves.
  • Trim the ends from the radishes. Cut them in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons.
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.

5

Serve

Transfer the lettuce leaves to individual plates. Top with the steak and vegetables, radishes, New Mexican chile salsa, and cilantro and serve.
